Leader programme launch in tipp

Minister for the Environment, Community & Local Government, Alan Kelly and Minister of State for Rural Affairs, Ann Phelan, will launch the LEADER Programme on Monday March 23rd. 

 

The LEADER element of the RDP will disburse €250 million in funds and expressions of interest are being sought by local groups interested in administering the scheme in their own areas.

 

The announcement will take place at The Cottage, Loughmore Village, Tipperary. The Cottage is a project which was funded under the previous LEADER programme and is an example of how the LEADER programme can transform and revitalise rural areas. There will be a strong village renewal element in the new LEADER programme.
