My Department is committed to delivering sustainable economic development including regional and rural development.
Responsibility for Rural Affairs policy rests with the Minister for Community and Rural Development. Realising our Rural Potential, the Government’s Action Plan for Rural Development, was launched in January 2017. It provides an overarching structure for the co-ordination and implementation of initiatives right across Government which will benefit rural Ireland.
As this is a priority issue for the Government, my Department is supporting implementation of the Action Plan through Cabinet Committee A.
