Fingal LEADER Partnership is one of 36 groups contracted by my Department to deliver the Rural Development Programme Ireland 2007-2013. The Group was awarded an overall amount of €7,766,780 for the duration of the Programme. The Group covers all rural areas of Co Dublin including Portmarnock.

The project in question may be eligible in principle; however, in line with the bottom-up nature of the LEADER approach, Fingal LEADER Partnership is the principal decision-maker regarding the allocation and subsequent management of project funding. I would advise the interested party to contact Fingal LEADER Partnership directly at Unit 14, BEaT Centre, Stephenstown Industrial Estate, Balbriggan, Co Dublin.
