As Senator Buttimer said, it would appear we now have a full application containing all relevant documentation. This is important and will allow for the application to be processed. Tusla is aware of the need to work expeditiously to ensure applications are processed, and the agency understands children will not be able to access education until this is done. Tusla's early years inspectorate is all about providing for the best form of education.

Additionally, that we are also now beyond the late summer period when the inspectorate was dealing with a great many registrations will mean it will now have the scope to focus on this application and to get it done. It is, however, important there is engagement in this regard and that it is clarified that all documents have been provided. Once that is the case, this application can be processed as expeditiously as possible.
