The Deputy might also note that there is a substantial number of community child care facilities in Galway City and County participating in the three Childcare Programmes which are administered and implemented by my Department. The Programmes relate to the Community Childcare Subvention Programme, the Early Childhood Care and Education Programme and the Community Education and Training Programme. The information requested in relation to grants paid to individual groups under these programmes is not readily available and I will arrange to have the material transmitted to the Deputy as soon as possible.
Particulars relating to the Chairperson, Secretary and Treasurer of each group and organisation in receipt of funds under the Youth Work and Childcare Programmes will also be furnished directly to the Deputy.
