Under the regulation of 2016, it is supposed to be 21 days. We also understand that due to the legal framework around it the 21 days is not worth the paper it is written on because it does not exist. That is a comment more than anything else.

It is my understanding that Tusla's risk rating of high is broken down into the categories of H1, H2, H3, H4, H5, H6 and H7. How does Tusla break down the 595 crèches? Mr. Lee must have that figure. He did not come to this committee meeting this morning, knowing that we are discussing childcare, and not have those figures for me. I wish to get some comfort for the parents watching these proceedings who are involved with those 595 crèches. I now know that 41 are in the high category. Can he give the breakdown of the rest?
