Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 26 March 2015
252. Deputy Catherine Murphy asked the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government if he will provide a breakdown of Leader programme funding awarded by county in each of the past seven years and in 2015 to date; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [12561/15]
View answerLEADER funding for the 2007-2013 programming period was not allocated based on county boundaries but to individual Local Action Groups on completion of the Local Development Strategy process. In addition to this, the allocations changed in 2012 when the EU co-financing rate changed due to the financial crisis and this resulted in a decrease in the overall programme allocation.
Table 1 details the initial allocations for each Local Action Group for the 2007-2013 programme period, while Table 2 sets out the 2013 revised allocations. Table 3 details the expenditure by group to March 2015.
