Approval of New Northern Periphery Programme

The Operational Programme for the new Northern Periphery Programme 2007-2013 is expected to be approved in September 2007.

The new programme focuses specifically on challenges associated with northern, peripheral regions such as sparse population and rurality, and prioritises action in the areas of innovation, the environment, accessibility and rural-urban links.

For the period 2007-2013 Ireland benefits from an expansion of the programme area, which now includes counties Donegal, Leitrim, Sligo, Galway, Mayo, Clare, Limerick, Cork and Kerry. The first call for project applications should take place in early October 2007, with a closing date of 31 October 2007.

An open call for preparatory projects has already been launched and the preparatory project application form is available on the website below. Preparatory project applications can be submitted at any time and expenditure will become eligible from the date of submission.
