Covid-19 (Rural and Community Development): Statements
Dail Éireann — 2020-06-03
============================================================

Michael Ring (FG), Mayo

I ask the Acting Chairman for just one second. If one scheme has caused me nothing but trouble in my Department, it has been LEADER. I have done everything in my power to make it easier for the LEADER companies to operate. I have changed every rule they asked to have changed. If a change is within the rules and it can be made at central government, I would not be afraid to make it. I cannot break European rules, however.
