676. Deputy Daniel Ennis asked the Minister for Children, Disability and Equality if she will provide an update on the number of childminders registered with Tusla to date since the implementation of the new childminding regulation in 2024; and to provide a breakdown of that uptake, per month, in tabular form. [53084/26]

As the subject matter of the Deputy's question relates to an operational matter for Tusla, I have referred the matter to them for a direct reply.
