I thank the Acting Chairman. My final question is about staff wages. Childcare staff, many of whom marched outside this building last February to highlight the poor rates of pay, have had the Department of Children and Youth Affairs and Revenue cover their wages during the pandemic, ensuring a minimum payment of €350. I would like a "Yes" or "No" answer to my question. Do the witnesses think this model should be considered as a permanent solution to solve the sector's wage issue?
