Funding under the LEADER programme is not targeted at any particular group, sector or town. It is, rather, focused on a thematic approach to rural development under the headings of Economic Development, Enterprise Development and Job Creation; Social Inclusion; and the Rural Environment. The Department does not, therefore, capture details of the amount of funding approved specifically to Milltown under the LEADER programme.
