Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 30 September 2025
782. Deputy Naoise Ó Muirí asked the Minister for Children, Disability and Equality for an update on the granting of an extension for a childcare service (details supplied) under the building blocks improvement scheme; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [51625/25]
Amharc ar fhreagraAn application was received from Glor na nOg under the Community Extension strand of the Building Blocks Extension Grant Scheme. The service was successful in its progression to next stage, which involves the completion of a legal framework, and includes the signing of a Grant Agreement.
While the Department can appreciate the service is anxious to commence projects works, it is a condition of the scheme that all contracting requirements and pre-payment conditions must be met in advance of any works commencing.
I understand that this matter is being progressed by the Chief States Solicitors Office.
