Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 7 October 2015
196. Deputy Michelle Mulherin asked the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government the amount of Leader funding allocated by Mayo north-east Leader partnership each year, pursuant to the rural development programme 2008 to 2013; if he will provide a breakdown of the various measures thereby supported; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [34930/15]
Amharc ar fhreagraUnder the LEADER elements of the Rural Development Programme 2007 to 2014, Mayo North East Leader Partnership has committed €7.4 2m to projects and over €4.2m has been paid to completed projects to date. I can advise the Deputy that funding under the LEADER programme is not allocated on a calendar year basis and therefore the table below shows the funding committed and paid to projects on a measure basis over the lifetime of the current programme. The following table also shows outstanding commitments for each measure.
