asked the Minister for Health if he will make a statement on the representations made by a playgroups coop (details supplied) in Tallaght, Dublin 24 regarding the urgent need for an on-going annual system of grant aid for community playgroups such as this, in view of the essential work that they are doing; if this application for funding on a regular basis, as suggested, will be approved; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

I have not received representations from the group mentioned by the Deputy seeking an annual system of grant aid for community playgroups.
I might point out that Dublin County Council provides grant aid to community playgroups operating in its area and it may be that the representations referred to were made to that body.
