Is the IDA's criticism of the school screening programme that insufficient funds were made available in the most recent budget and the one before it? Funding of €4 million or €5 million was made available but that was never going to be enough to roll out a comprehensive scheme. The IDA critiqued that screening programme not so much in terms of the number of children through it but, rather, in terms of what it does. I ask Mr. Hourihan to articulate the IDA position on that matter.
