Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 9 March 2004
384 Mr. Gregory asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform the reason the EOCP funding is being cut to a child care training programme (details supplied) in Dublin 1; and if this matter can be urgently reviewed to allow funding for essential running costs as was the case previously and in view of the exceptional child care needs being catered for by this project.

View answerAs the Deputy may be aware, I approved interim staffing funding under the equal opportunities childcare programme 2000 — 2006 of €45,000 for the period January to March 2004. The funding is to enable the project to remain open pending the outcome of a review of the project's application for funding. I understand that the future funding of this group is under active consideration at this time and it would premature of me to comment further at this stage.
