As the Deputy will be aware, I have responsibility for the National Childcare Investment Programme (NCIP) 2006 -2010.

As the Deputy may be aware, the finalisation of the latest portfolio of capital grant applications, under the NCIP, was delayed pending the introduction of the recent Supplementary Budget. Following decisions in the budget the capital allocation now available for 2009/2010 will meet existing capital grant commitments but will not be sufficient to allow for the approval of any additional grant applications. It is therefore not possible to approve the capital grant application for the group referred to by the Deputy at this time. My Office will be writing to the group shortly to advise them of this outcome.
