That is really positive in relation to the public realm. We have work to do on the approach to after-school care and ensuring families have access to facilities.

My next question is about Equal Start. Will Dr. Feely describe how it looks from a practical perspective for families? We know how impactful the DEIS programme has been and that comes in the form of breakfast clubs, home-school liaison officers, higher capitation grants, higher funding opportunities and such things. Will Dr. Feely describe how Equal Start works for a family?
