Government's Rural Development Policy launch welcomed by Minister Noonan

Today is a really important day as we launch #OurRuralFuture - the Government’s Rural Development Policy 2021-2025.

This policy presents a fantastic opportunity to put living at the heart of our rural towns and villages through innovation, connection, and heritage-led regeneration.

As a student of rural development 20 years ago at Tipperary Institute in Thurles I’m deeply proud to be part of this vision for the future of our rural areas.
