I welcome all the witnesses.

This morning unions representing healthcare workers confirmed to this committee that they were not consulted regarding the provision of emergency childcare for essential healthcare workers prior to the announcement of this service by An Taoiseach on 1 May. Further to that, I ask the witnesses if, as childcare providers, they were directly consulted or in what respect they were consulted regarding the provision of such a service prior to the announcement on 1 May. Ms Quinn might take that question.
