Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 31 January 2017
419. Deputy Éamon Ó Cuív asked the Minister for Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs the reason the detailed list of projects approved for funding and paid to local authorities under the 2016 CLÁR programme has not yet been published; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [4230/17]
View answerThe 2016 CLÁR programme focused on three separate measures:
- Measure 1: Safety Measures for Schools and Community/Sports Facilities
- Measure 2: Playgrounds and Multi-Use Games Areas
- Measure 3: Local Access Roads.
In October 2016, all Local Authorities with designated CLÁR areas were invited to make submissions under the measures outlined above. Following an assessment of the applications received, on 1st December 2016 I announced funding of €8.24 million to 651 successful projects under the programme.
Details of the individual projects approved under each measure of the 2016 CLÁR programme, and the amount of funding approved, was published on my Department's website on 18th January 2017. The full list of approved projects is available at www.ahrrga.gov.ie/rural/rural-development.
