The following playgrounds in Co. Kildare were allocated funding from my Department between 2004 and 2006.

2004Kildare Town72,000
2005Kilcock60,000
2006Clane, Kill, Monasterevin, Kilcullen120,000

The location of the playgrounds which are to benefit from these allocations is a matter for the relevant local authorities. I will keep the question of a new playground scheme under consideration in the light of the finances available to me.
