I recently announced the approval of €587,900 in capital grant assistance, under the equal opportunities child care programme, EOCP, 2000-06, in respect of an application from the group in question. This approval is subject to the group's satisfactory compliance with a number of conditions regarding the development and completion of the project. I understand that the group has been advised of the decision by the child care directorate of my Department.

Area Development Management Ltd., which is engaged to administer the EOCP on behalf of my Department, will be in contact directly with the group regarding the conclusion of a contractual agreement necessary in order to draw down the grant.
