In 2017, I approved over €5.7 million in CLÁR funding to Local Authorities. To date, over €5.5 million of this funding has been drawn down; this equates to 97% of the total allocated to the Local Authorities.
In 2018, I approved over €9.2 million in CLÁR funding to Local Authorities. To date, almost €7.7 million of this funding has been drawn down; this equates to 83% of the total allocated to Local Authorities.
My Department is currently engaging with the Local Authorities to close off their 2017 and 2018 projects.
On 26th August, I announced funding of over €3.8 million for projects to be delivered through the Local Authorities under the 2019 CLÁR programme. No payments have yet been made in respect of these projects.
The details requested by the Deputy for each Local Authority are provided in the following tables.
It should be noted that funding under some CLÁR Measures is provided directly to applicant organisations and is not routed through the Local Authorities. This funding is not included in the figures provided below. However, details of all projects approved under the CLÁR programme are available at www.gov.ie/en/policy-information/91ba52-clar/.
