Funding for start-up enterprises and associated training was eligible under the LEADER element of the Rural Development Programme 2007 – 2013. However, that Programme is now fully committed.

I expect that the 2014-2020 Rural Development Programme will commence during 2015 and projects involving enterprise development and job creation, if identified as a priority in the Local Development Strategy, will be eligible for funding.
