Written answers

Minister of State at the Department of the Environment, Community and Local Government

Funding for this type of infrastructure may have been possible under the LEADER element of the Rural Development Programme 2007 – 2013. However, that Programme is now fully committed. I expect that the 2014-2020 Rural Development Programme will commence during 2015 and there will be potential under this Programme to fund this type of equipment, if it is identified as a priority in the Local Development Strategy for the area.
