As the Deputy may be aware, I have signed contracts with 35 Local Action Groups, including Roscommon Integrated Development Company, for the delivery of the LEADER elements of the Rural Development Programme 2007-2013. All 35 Groups are now operational and I understand that the Programme is now open for applications throughout the country. With regard to Roscommon Integrated Development Company, an allocation of €12.8m has been made to the Group for the period of the Programme for activities aimed at improving the quality of life in rural areas and the diversification of the rural economy.
