As the Deputy will be aware, I have responsibility for the Equal Opportunities Childcare Programme 2000-2006 (EOCP) and the National Childcare Investment Programme 2006-2010 (NCIP), which are being implemented by the Office of the Minister for Children.

The Group in question were approved €398,975 in Capital Grant assistance under the EOCP in October 2002. They were approved further Capital Grant assistance of €126,224 in November 2006, bringing total Capital Grant assistance approved to the Group to €525,009. I understand that the Group have entered into contract with Pobal, the agency engaged to administer the grants. Pobal are awaiting further information from the Group before draw down of the money can commence.
