Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin (Cavan-Monaghan, Sinn Fein)

As I indicated to the Minister on the day of her visit, which was very successful, this was a matter we would address again. I do so today to gently urge the Minister to follow up on her positive response to what she witnessed on that day. It is important we try to emulate the example of the success of the Chatterbox service. The county child care committees are an appropriate vehicle for engaging with the greater number of preschool children today. They cater for approximately 95% of preschool starters.
