Maria Corrigan (Fianna Fail)

I welcome the Minister of State's response and thank him for his kind words. The 80% level of returns is heartening and is a credit to the Minister of State and his Department. I particularly welcome the fact that 415 letters have been issued approving the transition. The most important aspect of the scheme is that it offers us the opportunity to ensure that the people who most need affordable child care will receive it. The Minister of State's response provides further reassurance that where adjustments are indicated to be necessary, from analysis of the data, for more vulnerable people, they will be made.
