Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 8 June 2016
261. Deputy Robert Troy asked the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government to introduce a new rural development scheme for local groups who are producing a local book on the history of the area. [14727/16]
View answerAn initiative such as the one referred to in the Question may be eligible for funding under the LEADER elements of the Rural Development Programme 2014-2020. Any local group looking for support for such an initiative should liaise directly with the Local Action Group for their area.
My Department is in the final stages of finalising the selection of LEADER Local Action Groups and Strategies and I anticipate a phased commencement of the new LEADER programme across all areas from July.
