I welcome the launch of the €250 million Rural Development Programme by Ministers Alan Kelly and Ann Phelan.
The funding launched today will support the delivery of the LEADER Programme. An open call for expressions of interests has commenced from today with local groups who wish to be considered as a Local Action Group and LEADER companies being asked to submit their ideas in how LEADER Programme funding may be best spent in our local area.
Earlier this month, Co. Louth was allocated €6.1 million in funding to deliver the LEADER Programme which aims to support economic development in rural communities and target the issue of rural isolation.
I would encourage anyone interested in participating in this process to visit www.environ.ie for further information or contact my office.
