As the Deputy will be aware, I have responsibility for the Equal Opportunities Childcare Programme 2000-2006 (EOCP) and the National Investment Programme 2006-2010 (NCIP), which are being implemented by the Office of the Minister for Children. I understand that the Group in question has been approved total capital grant assistance of €1,507,384 under the EOCP, in respect of a proposal to develop a childcare facility. This funding is approved subject to the Group concluding a satisfactory contractual agreement with Pobal, which is engaged to administer the grants on behalf of the Office of the Minister for Children. In addition, the Group has also been approved staffing grant assistance of €161,000, up to 31 December 2007. I understand that the Childcare Directorate of my Office has advised the Group in question of these decisions.
