I thank Senator Seery Kearney for her contribution. I note that she is looking at the programme in a very structured fashion. The Senator will appreciate the fact, as she has already referenced, that there is a need for an evaluation both on a qualitative and a quantitative basis. That will take place. The Senator raises a very interesting point in terms of play therapy and the hours being provided. I have no doubt it is a matter that she will put serious thought into, in terms of polishing it. It is something I am sure she will bring up with the Minister, Deputy Foley. I will bring her comments directly to the Minister today on the specific matters raised.
