Budget 2020 has seen the overall level of funding for my Department increase from €291 million in 2019 to €308 million in 2020. This €17 million increase will facilitate the continued delivery of key programmes for rural Ireland and for communities across the country.

The breakdown of  my Department's 2020 allocation, including for the Western Development Commission, will be finalised in the context of the Revised Estimates Volume for 2020 which be published by the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform later this year.
