Mr. Kevin Creery:

The cost of the programme is €4 per child per month. Accordingly, over ten months, that comes to €40 per child. Schools are currently paying for it. However, we have been dealing with MLAs. We brought the education and health Departments, as well as the council, together to discuss this matter. Our ask today is that we want to join everything together and bring all the committees and public health bodies together to come up with a strategy where we can make this work and simply offset the cost to the school. Even though the schools are paying for it now, we are not so sure whether it will be sustainable in the future. When we get a government up and working in Stormont, then we will. With the Oireachtas, we would like to get financial support and contribution going forward.
