Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 6 December 2016
417. Deputy Charlie McConalogue asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine if he will confirm that it is possible via the official rural development programme amendment process to seek the transfer of financial allocations between measures as well as between sub-measures under the rural development programme; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [38761/16]
View answerThe financial allocations in the RDP 2014-2020 are based on measures and sub-measures and I can confirm that it is possible to transfer the allocations between measures and sub-measures by means of the official RDP amendment process.
Transferring allocations between measures and sub-measures would only be instituted where there is a definite and justifiable need, and is more likely to occur towards the end of the 2014 -2020 programming period.
