Written answers

Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform (Mr. McDowell)

In October 2002 the child care provider in question was approved for capital grant assistance under the Equal Opportunities Childcare Programme 2000 — 2006. I have been informed that Area Development Management Limited, which administers the programme on behalf of my Department, has sought clarification on a number of significant issues in relation to the project which must be resolved if the project is to receive grant assistance.
