The Department of Agriculture has announced a new consortium to run Ireland’s National Rural Network (NRN), which will be responsible for overseeing and improving where possible the implementation of the Rural Development Programme (RDP).
The NRN is part of the implementation architecture for the RDP across the EU. Its primary aims are to increase stakeholder involvement, improve quality of implementation, inform the public and potential beneficiaries, and foster innovation in agriculture, food production, forestry and rural areas.
A research team from NUI Galway and headed by Dr Maura Farrell has been appointed to lead the new consortium. Dr Farrell said the NRN aimed to improve the quality of rural development programmes in Ireland.

“The NRN consortium will endeavour to create strong linkages between the administrative structures and organisations delivering rural development in Ireland. Such practices will be drawn from projects funded under the Leader programme, and also from best practices in agriculture, biodiversity and small town development and rejuvenation,” added Dr Farrell.
