I would like to ask about these two programmes. There seems to be a ceiling in place under the community child care subvention programme. There is no need for potential new applicants to apply because the various county child care committees are not accepting new applications. Does the Minister feel there is a need to review this scheme in light of the changed circumstances so many families are finding themselves in? At the recent launch of a report that was commissioned by the Donegal child care committee and carried out by Indecon, the Minister suggested that she might consider reviewing these schemes in the current year.

Have sufficient resources been allocated to carry out a comprehensive review of the schemes?
