Question:
To ask the Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development, pursuant to AQW 44519/11-15, which arm’s-length bodies will distribute funding to projects within council areas; and to detail the role of these bodies.

Answer:

At this stage not all the delivery mechanisms have been decided for the Programme, but Local Action Group’s (LAG’s) formed under the LEADER methodology will distribute their LEADER indicative funding allocation on the ground via their Local Rural Development Strategy, through calls for applications that they will competitively assess.
