From the early years perspective, the Fine Gael Party carried out a body of research recently that showed parents were very happy with the quality of their service providers, but they did not have a diversity of choice. We do not have sport in early childhood, for example. Deputy Dillon, who is here, would be very much into sport and supporting that. We would like to have that diversity where every child's need and the holistic development of the child is supported in early childhood. I hope that when we see the outcomes from professional planning, the joint labour committees, JLC, and so on that we will have a career path in childcare.
