Amharc ar fhreagraFunding is available under the Rural Development Programme 2007-2013 for the provision of basic services — including the development of amenity/leisure facilities and recreational infrastructure — for rural communities. The Programme also provides funding to build the capacity of community organisations, to encourage their participation in a broad range of social and economic activities, and to provide them with the necessary skills and training to implement initiatives under the Programme. Details of the group administering the Programme in South Tipperary — South Tipperary Development Company — are available from my Department's website www.pobail.ie and the community organisation referred to by the Deputy should contact it for further information and advice regarding the funding being sought.
