As the funding was administered in part through the County and City Childcare Committees (CCC), I am able to provide a county by county breakdown of funding, however, funding has always been offered on a national level and not on a county by county basis. The allocation of funding to each county area is a direct reflection of the uptake of the opportunity offered through the Learner Fund and the demand for further education and training that existed in the EY sector in that area at the time. My Department placed no restrictions on the share of the available funding that could be accessed through each CCC.
