57 Louth Childcare Services Allocated Grant Funding

I welcome the announcement today that 57 Louth childcare services have been allocated grant funding through the Department of Children and Youth Affairs as part of an overall almost €7 million in capital grant funding allocated to early years services across the country.

I am delighted that 57 Louth childcare services will receive grant funding to make various improvements to their facilities.  Seven services in our county have been allocated funding towards works to improve the Building Energy Rating of the facility and medium scale essential maintenance works.  Fifty-four services have been allocated funding for upgrades to ICT equipment.

I look forward to the positive impact these improvements will have for each of the 57 childcare services in Louth who have been allocated funding.
