Rural Development Programme (LEADER) 2014-2020

The Rural Development Programme (LEADER) 2014 - 2020 is now open for applications. IRD Kiltimagh CLG. is an Animation Partner in this programme. This means that if you reside in any of the five DEDs around Kiltimagh, you can get advice from our office on what the new programme can do for your project. We can also give you an Expression of Interest form and submit it on your behalf to South West Mayo Development Company, the Implementing Partner for the area, to progress through the apllication process. See the maps for the area which we cover as an Animation Partner.
