Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 13 May 2008
339 Deputy David Stanton asked the Minister for Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs the situation regarding the Rural Development Programme 2007 to 2013; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [18027/08]
View answerMy Department has responsibility for implementing Axes 3 & 4 of the Rural Development Programme 2007-2013. Total funding allocated to these axes amounts to €425m, almost treble the amount available under the LEADER Programmes 2000-2006.
I expect to be in a position to commence the process of selection of Local Action Groups to deliver Axes 3 & 4 on behalf of my Department in the immediate future.
