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

Under this programme funding has been made available by my Office to the 33 City and County Childcare Committees to enable them to support the development and expansion of parent and toddler groups throughout the country. I understand that the group referred to by the Deputy has applied to Cork County Childcare Committee for a grant under the parent and toddler initiative and that this application is currently being processed. I am not aware of any further applications for funding by this group under the above programme.
