Fianna Fáil is calling on the new Minister for Rural and Community Affairs, Michael Ring, to address under-spending in his department.
The total amount spent at the end of May this year on rural and regional projects was €2.6 million – while the party claims there’s been no expenditure to date on LEADER projects.
Fianna Fáil’s spokesperson for Rural Affairs Éamon ÓCuív says the issue that must be addressed urgently.
