I might have to come back to the Deputy on the precise information he sought in his supplementary question because I believe I am correct in saying that the preschool delivery comes under the remit of the Minister, Deputy Frances Fitzerald, and the Department of Children and Youth Affairs. There is close co-operation between the two because it overlaps from preschool to the first two or three years in primary school. I do not have the figure for the amount of money in that regard. The figure I have is €2.75 million but additional resources are going into primary schools for the literacy and numeracy strategy, which would be additional to this amount. I will get the figures and revert to the Deputy.
