As part of his presentation today, the Minister outlined how he has taken €70 million from GLAS to pay for the Burren programme and the locally-led EIPs. GLAS is €70 million less as a result of paying for EIPs and the Burren programme out of the current rural development programme. There was no allocation for those in the original RDP. That is now coming off GLAS as part of the 2014 to 2020 RDP.
