I refer the Deputy to my reply to Questions Nos. 301 and 302 of the 3rd February 2009 in which I outlined the reasons behind the exemption of certain urban areas from the Rural Development Programme.

As the Deputy is aware, my Department administers, delivers and funds a wide range of measures, programmes and schemes including those supportive of urban communities and urban areas.

A detailed description of each of the programmes and schemes operated by my Department, including relevant guidelines and eligibility criteria, are available on the Department's website at www.pobail.ie
