The CLÁR programme provides funding for small scale projects in designated rural areas that have experienced significant levels of de-population.
A total of €32.8 million has been approved for over 1,400 CLÁR projects since the programme was re-established in 2016.
An indicative budget of €5 million has been provided for CLÁR this year. A 10% increase in this level of funding would equate to €500,000.
