Ms Bernie McNally:

We are hoping to do an audit on what facilities are still in place. Under the national development plan, childcare has been identified as a strategic priority. We have a commitment to €250 million for it. To make the best use out of that money, we want to do an extensive audit on what is in place. We have done some desk-based work already. We will be doing more and commissioning some assistance with it. We may be able to do that as part of that work.
