The operation of the EC Leader programme in County Tipperary is currently suspended.

I understand that local interests, representative of the local authorities, community groups, co-operative societies, the business sector and the unemployed are now engaged in the formation of a new group and the preparation of a business plan for submission to my Department with a view to being approved by the EC Commission to restart the Leader Programme there soon.
