I thank the Minister of State for her reply and I compliment her on the new initiative. I appreciate we discussed this in the House in 2012 and 2013, particularly with regard to my area of Galway, and there were inordinate delays in those years. All parents and children are now satisfied they have a place but unfortunately it was protracted. It was September or early October before some children were sorted in Galway. I am confident the new initiative will rectify this. I also welcome the additional funding and decentralised registration process. Is the Minister of State confident that by June all parents will know what will be available for their children?
