My main question is child care related and also about public expenditure. In the past few days two elements of child care have come to my attention at board level. The first will be familiar to Senators. It is the one year free pre-school child care scheme for children under four years. The Government proposes to introduce a limit insisting on a minimum of eight eligible children in a facility as a cost-saving measure. It is all about money.
