Question:

111 Mr. Lawlor asked the Minister for Health and Children if he will provide current information on the provision of core funding for a maximum of three years for the Ronanstown community childcare centre (details supplied) in Dublin 22 which is a European Employment initiative under the NOW Programme and for which EU funding has already been secured.

Minister of State at the Department of Health and Children (Mr. Fahey)

The provision of core funding for the Ronanstown community childcare centre is being considered in my Department at present and I will inform the Deputy as to the eventual decision in this matter.

I should mention that £100,000 has already been made available to this project by way of capital funding.
