Under the LEADER elements of the Rural Development Programme 2007 to 2014, Mayo North East Leader Partnership has committed €7.4 2m to projects and over €4.2m has been paid to completed projects to date .I can advise the Deputy that funding under the LEADER programme is not allocated on a calendar year basisand therefore the table below shows the funding committed and paid to projects on a measure basis over the lifetime of the current programme. The following table also shows outstanding commitments for each measure.
