Written answers

Each Leader group has a specific budget set aside in their overall allocation for rural or agri-tourism. The approval of grants by groups is made within detailed operating rules drawn-up by my Department and approved by the EU Commission. In accordance with the bottom-up philosophy of rural development, the local Leader group is the decision-making authority capable of approving actions within its business plan.

The person referred to by the Deputy should contact Blackwater Region Leader Company Limited, The Showgrounds, Fermoy, County Cork or telephone 025-33411.
