I shall follow on from where Deputy Cullinane finished talking about the costing of the entire model. I ask the witnesses to correct me if I am wrong about the following. Did it cost €150 million all-inclusive for everything to be paid for the 11 weeks? If so, does that mean, if one multiplies it out, a fully funded public childcare model, without fees coming in, would cost the State €750 million to pay the wages for everybody who works in the sector?
