Responsibility for Rural Development Policy rests with my colleague the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government. My Department supports the rural economy and rural development through a range of benefit payments and work placement and activation initiatives, including the rural social scheme, Tús, community employment and similar programmes. There is no provision for grant support of the type mentioned from this Department.
