Kilkenny is to receive €708,325 in Transitional LEADER Programme funding, money which will bridge the gap between EU LEADER programming periods, local Fine Gael TD, John Paul Phelan, has confirmed.
The funding for the pro-active and regionally-focused Kilkenny LEADER Programme team is part of a €20 million support nation-wide to support locally-led rural development and will allow LEADER in Kilkenny to keep running the many county-wide initiatives already underway.
“The next LEADER programme is not likely to commence until 2023 due to delays at EU level. We can’t let all the good work done by LEADER here in Kilkenny stop or pause and this funding will help LEADER help communities throughout Kilkenny.
