Éamon Ó Cuív (Galway West, Fianna Fail)

A total of €5 million has been provided. It will be paid for out of the Vote of the Department of Communications, Energy and Natural Resources but will be dispersed by the Leader companies. We will make an announcement about that in the near future and it will be based on a Leader-type model. Basically, the eligibility criteria will be based on those used in the Leader programme.
