I thank the Senator. I might ask Early Childhood Ireland and Children’s Rights Alliance to come in on the outlier question. On the other question about the different models, I will ask SIPTU, the federation and the Association of Childhood Professionals to come in. It is okay if people want to jump in on the other questions, but I think the question about being an outlier is probably a bit more appropriate for Early Childhood Ireland and the Children's Rights Alliance.

I should say to all our witnesses that if there are things they want to say, they should just indicate and I will bring them in. I will start with Ms Byrne.
