Ms Nuala Ward:

On the crèche issue, we engaged with the various parties prior to the programme for Government in the expectation and hope they would see we should have a remit considering the significant amount of State moneys that have gone into this private sector. We will continue to engage with the lead Department, the Department of Children, Disability and Equality, because first and foremost we believe the national childcare agency it proposed to set up should be the first tier for complaints. Pending that, people should be able to come to us and we should be able to take complaints and try to resolve them. These are very young children. It is not right or proper that parents do not have an independent place to go, such as ourselves, so we will continue to engage on that.
