Meitheal Forbartha na Gaeltachta (MFG) was contracted by my Department to deliver the Rural Development Programme (RDP) as well as implementing other programmes on behalf of my and other Departments.

There are complex legal and contractual issues to be resolved and my Department is currently working on both long and short term solutions to ensure the continued delivery of the Rural Development Programme and other programmes in Gaeltacht Areas. My intention is to find a solution that will be efficient and effective and applied at the earliest possible opportunity.
