An application was received from Cherry Orchard Community Childcare under the Community Construction strand of the Building Blocks Extension Grant Scheme. The service was successful in its progression to next stage, which involves the completion of a legal framework, and includes the signing of a grant agreement.

While the Department can appreciate the service is anxious to commence projects works, it is a condition of the scheme that all contracting requirements and pre-payment conditions must be met in advance of any works commencing.

As the legal framework has not yet been completed, I am not in a position to provide further detail in relation to this case.
