Summary
The Deputy said east Galway was receiving too little LEADER funding compared with other counties and asked for rebalancing. The Taoiseach said the figures were precise and promised to have the allocation examined.
The issue I bring to the Taoiseach's attention relates to LEADER funding. I will throw the spotlight on how the allocations affect us in east Galway. Per head of population, Roscommon receives €97; Offaly, €76; Mayo, €64; Clare, €53; and poor east Galway, €37. I ask that consideration be given to rebalancing how LEADER funding is divvied out and that we get our proportionate share.
