The Irish Local Development Network (ILDN), which was formally established in 2010, is the umbrella organisation for Local Development Companies (LDCs). These LDCs deliver both the Local and Community Development Programme (LCDP) and the Rural Development Programme 2007-2013 (RDP) on behalf of my Department. My Department has an annual contract with ILDN, which is renewed on the basis of an agreed and costed annual work plan. The funding provided by my Department to ILDN under the annual contract supports a range of consultative, networking, communication, information and promotional purposes. The funding received by the ILDN for the years in question is outlined in the table.
