Previous Funding

De Minimis Declaration

The aid being sought is provided under the European Commission Regulation on De minimis aid. Small amounts of State aid, up to €200,000 in any three-year period to any one enterprise, are regarded as too small to significantly affect trade or competition in the common market. Such amounts are regarded as falling outside the category of State aid that is precluded by the EC Treaty and can be awarded without notification to or clearance by the European Commission. A Member State is required to have a mechanism to track such aid (called 'De minimis aid') and to ensure that the combined amount of De minimis aid payments from all sources to one enterprise in any three-year period respects the €200,000 ceiling. 


Please provide details below of all other De Minimis aid which has been granted to you/your group/your business (i.e. the promoter) within the past three years. The default position for all applicants will be that any public funding is from a de minimis source unless confirmed otherwise. It should be noted that a false declaration by a company resulting in the threshold of €200,000 being exceeded could later give rise to the aid being recovered with interest.


If a project involves economic activity, then the applicant will have to declare whether he/she/the business/group has or has not received State Aid.  Leitrim Development Company must carry out De Minimis checks on all projects involving or relating to economic activity.   

*e.g. European Programmes, County Council, County Enterprise Board, Fáilte Ireland, Regional Tourism Organisation, National Lottery, Bord Bia, /DSP/Solas/SEAI, Teagasc, Heritage Council, other Semi-State Agencies, Government Departments, Local Development Company.
