Mr. Brian Lee:

Absolutely, because the vast majority of services are based in Dublin. When we took over the national inspectorate in 2014, Dublin had the biggest deficit in inspectors. There were parts of Dublin that had no inspector at all. It took a lot of work to plug those gaps. The Department has invested very heavily in the early years inspectorate. There has been an increase in administrative support. There is also a new registration process, which is quite administrative in nature. There has been good investment in practitioners who carry out registration reviews and look at unsolicited information. We have done our absolute best to ensure that inspectors are not caught up in administrative tasks so they can be out doing inspections.
