I propose to take Questions Nos. 733 and 755 together.

The review of the Child Care (Pre-School Services) Regulations 1996 and (Amendment) Regulations 1997 has been completed. I expect to be in a position to sign the revised Regulations in the near future. I understand that work is in progress in the Health Service Executive to address training issues for pre-school inspection staff in anticipation of the introduction of the revised Regulations.
