View answerOur Rural Future, Ireland's Rural Development Policy 2021 – 2025, represents the Irish Government’s blueprint for the development of rural Ireland. It sets out a range of actions for delivery across Government, and sets the strategic framework for the delivery of capital investment under my Department's Rural Development Investment Programme. Details in relation to projects awarded funding are regularly published on my Department's website.
The table attached outlines the funds allocated to local authorities since 2020 under rural schemes as requested by the Deputy. Please note that the LEADER programme is administered by Local Action Groups (LAGs), and the figures provided for LEADER are thus provided in respect of the LAGs in each county.
