Minister for Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs (Deputy Pat Carey)

In my Department's Vote for 2010, funding of €40m is being provided for the roll-out of the Rural Development Programme 2007-13, approximately €27m of which is being allocated directly for project funding.

The table below details the overall RDP allocations for each of the 36 Local Action Groups, which are delivering the programme on my Department's behalf, as well as their administration allocations for 2010. Total expenditure to date this year is also shown.

The Deputy should note that the Groups are being allocated project funding on a first come/first served basis this year in an effort to maximise project expenditure and impact. This approach will facilitate flexibility to assign funding to projects that can be completed in 2010.
