392 Deputy Bobby Aylward asked the Minister for Health and Children the progress to date on the application for capital grant assistance under the national childcare programme by persons (details supplied) in County Kilkenny; and when a decision will be made on this application. [1762/08]
View answerAs the Deputy will be aware, I have responsibility for the National Childcare Investment Programme 2006-2010 (NCIP) which is being implemented by the Office of the Minister for Children.
With regard to the application for capital grant assistance referred to in the question, I understand that the Group have applied for €100,000 under the NCIP and that the application is in the final phase of the appraisal process. Following this appraisal a decision will be made on funding for the applicants. This decision will be communicated to the applicants shortly.
