Ms Lara Hynes:
The number of spaces increased in the same timeframe between October 2020 and 2022. It fluctuated somewhat. It increased from 415 spaces to 446 over the time period. Staffing is challenging in the current employment environment. It is challenging to increase the number of overall spaces but Tusla has achieved some increase in spaces over that period of time.
