I propose to take Questions Nos. 951 and 979 together.
Article 38 of Regulation 1974/2006 states that running costs of local action groups (LAG) under the LEADER element of the Rural Development Programme 2007-2013 are eligible for support, but up to a limit of 20% of the total expenditure. At present the national average is 20%. Approximately €17million remains to be paid out on projects under the Programme and this will reduce the percentage administration in some LAGs.
The table sets out the percentage per LAG as well as the actual funding amount calculated based on expenditure as of 30 April 2015.
