I understand that Cabinet yesterday approved the affordable child care scheme Bill. Can I get clarity as to whether this approval was the full Bill or just the heads of the Bill? The Minister for Children and Youth Affairs, Deputy Zappone, has indicated that she wants to introduce the scheme next September. That is a very tight timeframe for proper pre-legislative scrutiny and discussion with stakeholders, so the Bill will need to be published as soon as possible. Perhaps the Taoiseach will clarify this.
