Childcare Centre for Greencastle

Greencastle Community Childcare is to get a new €1.2m state-of-the-art childcare centre. The new centre, which is funded by the Government will have the capacity to accommodate more than 70 children.

Christina McEleney, Manager of Greencastle Community Childcare, said she was "more than delighted" with the announcement by the Minister of Finance Brian Cowen. "It took three years of hard work and dedication, many obstacles had to be faced and overcome." She said. McEleney added that the new investment would yield a number of new jobs for the area when the centre is up and running. "Today has been a brilliant day for all the staff, the volunteers and the management committee, past and present. We look forward to the day when the doors of the brand new childcare centre are opened."
