View answerSouth West Mayo Development Company and Mayo North East LEADER Partnership are the two main local development companies contracted by my Department to deliver the LEADER elements of the Rural Development Programme 2007-2013 in County Mayo.
In addition, the Mayo gaeltacht areas were formerly serviced by Meitheal Forbartha na Gaeltachta, which liquidated in 2011. On foot of this, South West Mayo LEADER Company and Mayo North East LEADER Partnership took responsibility for delivery of the programme in gaeltacht areas. It should also be noted that the Mayo non gaeltacht islands are serviced by Comhar na nOileán. The table below sets out the total funding available to County Mayo under the Rural Development Programme 2007-2013.
