My Department is responsible for the delivery of Axes 3 and 4 of the Rural Development Programme 2007-2013 (RDP), for which overall funding of the order of €427 million is available. The main objectives of the Programme are to improve the quality of life in rural areas and facilitate the diversification of the rural economy. Some 36 Local Action Groups are contracted on my Department's behalf to deliver the RDP throughout the country. These groups are the principal decision-makers in relation to the allocation of project funding. Such decisions are made in the context of the individual group's local development strategy and in line with my Department's operating rules and EU regulations.

The Programme has registered project activity of approximately €112 million, which includes €32 million in firm contractual commitments. A significant portion of those firm commitments are expected to mature during 2011. Expenditure to date amounts to over €70 million, which includes funding for a diverse range of projects from support for micro-enterprise in rural areas to the building and maintenance of community infrastructure and the provision of training in a variety of disciplines for rural dwellers. The Programme has been allocated €62 million in total for 2011 and, notwithstanding current challenging economic circumstances, project activity is accelerating and I am confident that full spend will be achieved in 2011. The following tables detail LAG measure allocations and expenditure to date.
