Minister for Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs (Deputy Éamon Ó Cuív)

As the Deputy is aware, delivery of Axis 3 and Axis 4 (LEADER) of the Rural Development Programme 2007-2013 commenced in February 2009. I can confirm that all Local Action Groups contracted to deliver the Programme are now fully operational and available to consider grant applications.

Contact details regarding the groups delivering the Programme are available on my Department's web site at www.pobail.ie.
