79 Deputy Paul Gogarty asked the Minister for Health and Children if her attention has been drawn to the anomaly that exists whereby parents of children born between 1 July 2006 and 31 August 2006 are faced with a difficult choice, either to send there children to primary school without preschool in the preceding months, or to defer school for a year to avail of the early child care and education scheme in September 2010; in view of the fact that some children would not benefit from waiting an extra year, having already received up to two years of crèche or montessori care and have already been provisionally accepted by some primary schools; her views on a partial ECCE term until September 2010 for such children, subject to there being ample availability in a local participating crèche; and if she will make a statement on the matter.
