The Early Years Capital funding for 2015 was announced on Thursday 30th July by Minister James Reilly. Just under €7 million has been allocated through the Department of Children and Youth Affairs to 2,415 grantees nationwide. Of these 121 approvals were made in respect of services in Limerick, totalling €643, 320.
Limerick Childcare Committee would like to congratulate the successful applicants and look forward to supporting each in completing their projects.
The funding was awarded under four strands:
Under Strand 1, Croi na nOg, Rathkeale Community Childcare Ltd. has been awarded €415,713. This funding will allow the service to provide a new building for a preschool to replace a temporary portacabin and provide appropriate facilities in which to offer preschool education. It will also provide after-school facilities, which are currently being run from the Rathkeale No 2 School.
17 services in Limerick were awarded funding under Strand 2 and 3 to carry out essential maintenance, quality improvement and sustainability works to improve the Building Energy Rating (BER) of their facilities.
