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.
