Under the Child Care (Pre-School Services) (No.2) Regulations 2006, the HSE has responsibility for pre-school inspections. There are areas throughout the country where gaps in the inspection services have been identified and the HSE is currently at an advanced stage of recruiting additional inspectors to address this deficit. These recruitments will strengthen the pre-school inspections system in a number of areas including county Louth, where I understand the recruitment process for the appointment of an inspector has been completed.
