The total amount of capital carried forward from 2017 to 2018 in respect of my Department amounted to €7.7m; comprised of €5m in Leader funding and €2.7m in National Rural Development Schemes.

At the end of May a total of €3.746m has been expended - €3.165m Leader and €0.581m under National Rural Development Schemes. I anticipate that the balance of the carryover will be drawn down in the coming months.
