I understand that Roscommon County Childcare Committee received funding from the Department of Justice, Equality and Law reform under the Enhancing Disabilities Services (EDS), to undertake the Páistí le Chéile project. With regard to my own Office, funding is provided on an annual basis to support the activities set out in the Action Plans of the 33 City and County Childcare Committees. In 2008, funding amounting to €295,360 has been approved for Roscommon County Childcare Committee and it is open to them to progress the Páistí le Chéile project within the context of their overall priorities and available resources.
