My Department is providing funding of €2 million to local authorities for the provision of playground facilities in 2005. Each city and county council, including Kildare County Council, has been allocated €60,000 to meet the cost of purchase and delivery of play equipment. The location of the playgrounds which are to benefit from these allocations is a matter for local authorities to decide.
