As outlined in previous replies, the Community Support Scheme was administered through 14 LEADER companies including Comhdháil Oileáin na hÉireann in respect of island communities (including Irish speaking islands) and Meitheal Forbartha na Gaeltachta Teoranta, in respect of the Gaeltacht areas. Meitheal Forbartha na Gaeltachta Teo also implemented the scheme on behalf of Comhar Iorrais (Leader) Teo.

Comhar na nOileáin Teoranta allocated €189,405 and Meitheal Forbartha na Gaeltachta Teo allocated €842,800 to projects in accordance with the published programme complement, which identified the criteria for determining eligibility of projects and applicants.

The Department does not hold the level of information sought by the Deputy but information on individual projects can be obtained directly from the relevant Leader Company.
