Okay. Pobal carries out a survey on an annual basis but the difference between fees and funding was always around 60% Government funded and then 40% fees. That is the rough estimate. The new scheme potentially means a 25% reduction in fees for parents. What is the increase in funding now between that 60:40 breakdown? Will we have to wait until the Pobal survey comes out?
