It is on the record now and I have it in writing from the Minister and the Department of Justice and Equality. I have put it on the record because Early Childhood Ireland did a survey and discovered the interpretation of the way rates are to be implemented on early childhood care premises is different in every county. I am asking that a note be sent to every local authority informing them the Valuation Office's interpretation of paragraph 10 should be interpreted the same in every county, which is that those that only provide early childhood care and education schemes are exempt from rates.
