My Department has indicated that it is prepared to make available funding in the region of €1.1 million towards the provision of a community and childcare facility in Mountwood Fitzgerald Park, Dún Laoghaire. I understand that the Department of Justice, Equality and Law Reform is also prepared to provide funding of the order of €690,000 to cover child care and crêche facilities, subject to a suitable building proposal being developed.
I understand that, in light of this, Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council are now re-examining the proposal for a community centre at this location in consultation with ADM and the relevant community group and with a view to submitting a revised proposal for the project for approval by both Departments as soon as possible.
