THE Minister for Rural and Community Development, Michael Ring, has announced Leader funding of €91,896 for communities in the Ballina area.
The funding for these projects will be provided by Minister Ring’s department and directed through the Mayo Leader Local Action Group.
Minister Ring said: “I’m delighted to have approved support for these projects which will provide a social and economic benefit to Ballina and its hinterland. Last year I announced a total of €958,000 for 26 individual projects in Mayo under the Leader programme.
“This will be very welcome news for rural businesses and communities that are seeking investment. Last year, over 550 LEADER projects were approved across the country for funding of €14.6 million. The Leader programme is well and truly up and running and I expect that it will continue to grow rapidly this year.”
