My Department is responsible for the delivery of Axes 3 & 4 of the Rural Development Programme 2007-2013 (RDP), for which overall funding of the order of €425m is available. There are 36 Local Action Groups contracted on my Department's behalf to deliver the RDP throughout the country and these Groups are the principal decision-makers in relation to the allocation of project funding.

The table below details: the indicative allocation to each Group under the Programme to date; the amount drawn down by each Group to date; the funding committed by each Group to be drawn down; and the balance yet to be committed.

The Deputy will appreciate that it is imperative, particularly in the current economic climate, that the RDP maximises the funding available for the Programme on the ground, in order to ensure the improvement of the quality of life in rural areas and the diversification of the rural economy. With this in mind, I recently announced that the Groups are free to enter into commitments up to the value of €40m for 2011. In announcing this initial allocation for next year, I urged the Groups to focus their energies on supporting projects that will bring jobs and real and sustainable growth to communities across rural Ireland. Overall, I am confident that the availability of this initial €40m allocation for next year will allow the Groups to do this.
