On 4 March last, I approved capital grant assistance of €1.1 million under the equal opportunities child care programme in respect of an application from the group in question, subject to its satisfactory compliance with a number of conditions in respect of the development and completion of the project. I understand that the Department's child care directorate advised the group of my decision. Area Development Management Limited has been engaged to administer the child care programme on behalf of the Department. ADM Limited will contact the group directly about the conclusion of the contractual agreement necessary to draw down the grant.
