The budget allocation for the rural development programme area is published on an annual basis, in the Revised Estimates for Public Services (REV) for the relevant Department, by the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform and is available on the gov.ie website.
My Department was established in July 2017 and Table 1 below provides the rural development budget allocation for each of the years 2017 to 2022 along with the year on year increases in funding for that aspect of the Department's budget. The allocations for previous years was provided for within the REV allocations of the relevant Departments that had responsibility for the rural development programme area prior to the establishment of my Department.
