The following table sets out details of the 2017 financial allocation under my Department's European Maritime and Fisheries Fund Operational Programme to each of the 7 Fisheries Local Action Groups.  Some €12 million is available to the FLAGs over the course of the Programme.

On 8 June 2017, I announced the award by the 7 FLAGs of €2 million in grant aid to 153 projects nationwide.  These projects have not yet drawn down funds.  The FLAG scheme remains open for new applications.
