Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 29 January 2019
535. Deputy Sean Sherlock asked the Minister for Rural and Community Development the moneys allocated specifically for projects in Fermoy town by a partnership (details supplied) in each of the years 2012 to 2019; and the locations to which the moneys were allocated in tabular form. [4017/19]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe partnership company referred to by the Deputy delivers a range of funding streams on behalf of a number of different organisations, including my Department. My Department does not have information in respect of all of these funding streams or of the specific projects that may have been funded.
In respect of my own Department, the partnership company is the Programme Implementer for the Social Inclusion Community Activation Programme, SCIAP. Table 1 provides details of the funding provided to the partnership company under this programme for the years 2012 to 2019.
The partnership company delivered the 2007-2013 LEADER Programme as a Local Action Group, LAG, and details of the funding provided to the partnership company in each of the years 2012 to 2016 are provided in Table 2.
The approach to the delivery of the LEADER programme changed in 2016. A funding agreement was signed with the North Cork Local Community Development Committee in 2016 to deliver LEADER 2014-2020 as the Local Action Group in North Cork. The partnership company continues to implement the LEADER 2014-2020 programme in conjunction with the North Cork LAG and is the point of contact for all potential applicants. The allocation of funding to individual projects in Fermoy is a matter for the Local Action Group rather than the partnership company.
The North Cork LAG has an allocation of almost €5.1 million under the 2014-2020 LEADER Programme. The allocation is provided for the duration of the programme rather than on an annual basis as this provides greater flexibility for Local Action Group’s to manage their resources over the full duration of the programme.
