FIANNA Fail TD Willie O’Dea has welcomed the announcement by the Minister for Children, Disability, and Equality Norma Foley of the opening of a €10million capital funding scheme which will help to deliver a significant number of additional early learning and childcare places in Limerick.
The Building Blocks Extension Scheme Phase 2 will provide grants for community and private early learning and childcare services who are core funding partner services to increase their capacity by means of extensions to their existing premises.
“Community providers in Limerick can apply for a capital grant of between €100,000 and €530,000 to extend their existing premises.
Private providers in Limerick can apply for a capital grant of between €50,000 and €265,000 to extend their existing premises,” Deputy O’Dea commented.
