Wait for rural development cash goes on

The wait for rural development grants in Gaeltacht areas continues, following the liquidation last September of Meitheal Forbartha na Gaeltachta (MFG).

MFG is the group contracted by the Department of Environment, Community and Local Government to deliver LEADER funding of €17,278,809 in Gaeltacht areas in counties Cork, Kerry, Waterford, Donegal, Galway and Mayo.

No LEADER funding has been approved in these areas since the liquidation.
