Dr. Fergal Lynch:

The total value of the EOCP was €230 million. In its time, between 2000 and 2006, it provided 39,580 places. It was replaced by the national childcare investment programme which operated between 2007 and 2010. The figure I have for that was €178 million in funding with 24,347 places.
