112. To ask the Minister for Environment, Community and Local Government when a decision will be made to approve a local authority lease of lands to a community group (details supplied) in County Galway, as this approval is needed before a Leader application can proceed; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

There are 35 Local Development Companies contracted, on my Department’s behalf, to deliver Axes 3 & 4 (LEADER) of the Rural Development Programme (RDP) throughout the country and these groups are the principal decision-makers in relation to project approvals on behalf of project promoters. Any issue regarding the leasing of land between the local authority and a project promoter is a matter for the parties concerned in the first instance. My Department has not received correspondence to date regarding the lease referred to.
