I move amendment No. 10:

In page 10, line 20, to delete “section.” and substitute the following:“section,

(i) the inclusion of Tusla-registered non-centre-based childminding services.”

The amendment speaks for itself. We have had much discussion in the committee about childminders and including them in this new scheme. It would be good if they were mentioned in the legislation. This amendment proposes to delete the word "section" and substitute “section, (i) the inclusion of Tusla-registered non-centre-based childminding services.” Given that we are trying to encourage childminders into the scheme, it would be good to include specific reference to them in the Bill.
