A recommendation to carry out a baseline audit of the quality of early care and education services was set out in Right from the Start, the Report of the Expert Advisory Group on the Early Years Strategy. This recommendation is currently being considered by my Department in the context of developing Ireland's first Early Years Strategy. I expect to be in a position to bring this Strategy forward for consideration by Government before Summer.
