TD urges approval of funds for community centre

FUNDING of more than €660,000 approved by two Government departments for a Limerick community scheme may be lost if a third Government department does not come up with its share of grant aid, Labour Party front bench spokesperson Jan O’Sullivan warned last night.

Deputy O’Sullivan said the Department of Equality and Law Reform must immediately approve funding for the St Munchin’s Family Resource Centre. “This money can be granted under the Equal Opportunities Childcare Programme, in view of the fact that funding has already been agreed by the Department of Environment and the Family Support Agency.

The overall project is in jeopardy if childcare capital funding from the third department is not forthcoming.”
