Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin (Cavan-Monaghan, Sinn Fein)

I refer to the matter raised by Deputy Kenny. Having heard the Taoiseach's response, there are still concerns about the enhanced proposition relating to the community child care subvention scheme. I welcome the expansion by the Minister of State, Deputy Brendan Smith, of the various tiers and the supports under same. I noted this morning's welcome by the community child care sector of the improvements in principle, but we do not have access to the thresholds for the determination of low income.
