The final issue I want to focus on is the sensitivity of the data. Is the Minister happy with the transfer of people's personal private data? I refer to the Data Protection Commissioner ensuring that the website is sufficiently secure for the uploading of the sensitive material that will be required. Will it be protected? A cohort of parents are conscious of the need for their data to be protected.

I was in Moylough last week where I met a number of community providers who have concerns regarding the support for small community childcare providers such as themselves. I was talking to a gentleman from Wexford yesterday about the Bunclody Traveller movement and, separately, Coolcots, Wexford town. As part of the affordable childcare scheme, is the Minister hearing about the fears of some community childcare providers that the funding will not meet their demands?
