My Department has responsibility for implementing Axes 3 & 4 of the Rural Development Programme 2007-2013. Total funding allocated to these axes amounts to €425m, almost treble the amount available under the LEADER Programmes 2000-2006.

I expect to be in a position to commence the process of selection of Local Action Groups to deliver Axes 3 & 4 on behalf of my Department in the immediate future.
