Details of the capital funding provided by my Department to Youth Services and Early Years providers for a range of capital projects in Westmeath since June 2020 is set out in the table below. The nature of this funding is small grant funding rather than funding for any larger scale refurbishments or major infrastructural projects.

For example in relation to capital funding provided for youth services, small grants are made available to support the purchase of essential equipment and the completion of minor works to include equipment for working with young people, adaption of outside areas for working with young people, ventilation and sanitary facilities and refurbishments. Similarly, funding is provided to a number of Early Learning Care & School Age Childcare Services located in Westmeath and is also for minor capital works. 

There have been no capital projects in Westmeath funded to date in 2023.
