The group in question received funding under the previous LEADER programme 2000 – 2006 for ECDL / OCR Accreditation training. They have not applied for funding under the Rural Development Programme 2007-2013.

Rural dwellers can apply for Rural Development Programme 2007-2013 funding under the following measures: - Diversification into non-agricultural activities for farm families - Support for business creation and development - Encouragement of tourism activities - Basic services for the economy and rural population - Village renewal and development - Conservation and upgrading of the rural heritage - Training and information on adapted and new skills I would advise the group in question to contact their local Action Group -Inishowen Development Partnership at Pound St., Carndonagh, Inishowen, Co Donegal who will be able to advise them.
