- The Board can make grants up to two thousand pounds for minor productive projects, provided no grant from An Foras Tionscal has been made for the same project.
- The Board's membership has increased from five to not more than seven members, with corresponding changes to meeting quorum requirements.
- The maximum repayable advances to the Board from the Central Fund have increased from five hundred thousand pounds to two million pounds.
