Has there been any discussion with any of the Government Departments on this issue of insurance? We have had to do a deal in this regard with the healthcare sector, whereby the State has had to take over insurance in the healthcare sector. In particular given there is, I think it was said, only one main insurer for the sector, the question is whether or not this would be part of a package of the State taking over insurance cover for childcare facilities. Has that been discussed at any stage?
