Action groups to recruit in September
More than €425 million will be provided over the next seven years to support improvements to the quality of rural life and the diversification and development of the local rural economy. These supports will be provided under the €6 billion rural development programme for Ireland, which the European Commission approved this week.
Mr Ó Cuív said he looked forward to seeing progress in developing the rural economy, particularly in rural/agri-tourism, and continued development of the small food producer sector.
