I have cited two examples - Ballincollig and Ballyvourney - but we are aware of many other areas across north-west Cork. The current allocation of €9 million leaves approximately €200,000 per county. For a county the size of Cork that allocation would be immediately swallowed by each of the places I have mentioned. Is there any indication that the Minister will be able to put additional funding towards larger counties where there is larger demand such as those areas of Cork?

I also asked about the straitéis 20 bliain and the need to support naíonrí and other centres that conduct their business as Gaeilge. Will this also inform the directing of funds towards those types of childcare?
