Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 10 December 2019
584. Deputy Dara Calleary asked the Minister for Rural and Community Development the number of schools in each county that have been successful in applying for a school playground from the CLÁR programme in each of the years 2016 to 2018 and to date in 2019; the number of applications in the area annually; and the number of approved and rejected applications by county. [51354/19]
View answerAs the Deputy is aware, CLÁR (Ceantair Laga Árd-Riachtanais) is a targeted investment programme for rural areas that aims to provide funding for small infrastructural projects in areas that have experienced significant levels of depopulation.
In recent years, amongst other measures, CLÁR has supported the enhancement or development of community and schools outdoor play facilities.
Table 1 below provides details of the number of schools awarded funding for outdoor play facilities, by county, in each of the years 2016-2019. It should be noted that no school play facilities were funded in 2016.
Table 2 provides details of all CLÁR applications received in each of the years 2016-2019 across all CLÁR measures in each relevant county. It also includes details of the number of applications approved for funding and the number of unsuccessful applications for each of those years.
