The information requested by the Deputy is set out in the attached table. With the exception of the Afforestation Scheme, all other capital projects in Westmeath funded by my Department are delivered through the LEADER multi-annual programme which is delivered through 29 Local Action Groups (LAGs) around the country. Funding for the LEADER Programme is provided for the duration of the programme rather than on an annual basis to allow more flexibility to the Local Action Groups to manage the programme budget in their areas of operation.
