Mr. Paul Fay:

I understand the question and the answer is also "No". We have a set of early years regulations, published in 2016. On the basis of those regulations and a fit-for-purpose inspection by Tusla, we enter into a contractual arrangement to provide early years' services. In relation to the Steiner or specific kindergarten or HighScope or any of the other models, we do not.
