My Department issued revised Programme allocations in May 2013 under the LEADER elements of the Rural Development Programme 2007-2013. RDP and Local Development Companies were given until 31 August to allocate any remaining available funding to ensure that all funding is allocated before the end of 2013. My Department has been monitoring the situation with a view to identifying any unallocated or decommitted funding which can be reallocated.

I understand that the project in question is under consideration by Avondhu Blackwater Partnership and, as the LDC is the principal decision maker in relation to project funding, it will be the responsibility of the LDC to determine what projects will be allocated funding should additional funding become available.
