Written answers

Minister of State at the Department of Health and Children (Deputy Brendan Smith)

As the Deputy will be aware, I have responsibility for the Equal Opportunities Childcare Programme 2000-2006 (EOCP) and the National Childcare Investment Programme 2006-2010 (NCIP), which are being implemented by the Office of the Minister for Children. The table provides details of funding allocated under the Childcare Programmes to childcare providers in Kildare from January 2004 to date. As will be seen €5.86 million was allocated under the capital strand of the EOCP and the NCIP. An additional €1.1 million was allocated towards staffing costs for Community Based/Not for Profit Groups.
