Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 6 October 2021
178. Deputy James Lawless asked the Minister for Rural and Community Development the number of playgrounds funded under the CLÁR scheme in each county both through community organisations and through schools. [48423/21]
View answerThe CLÁR Programme provides funding under a number of different Measures for small-scale infrastructural projects in designated rural areas that have experienced significant levels of de-population over a defined period. The Measures to be included in the CLÁR programme are reviewed and revised, if appropriate, each year.
Measure 2 of the 2021 programme provided support for Outdoor Community Recreation Facilities, including playgrounds. There were 20 playground projects approved for funding this year. These projects consist of new playgrounds/play areas and/or upgrades to playgrounds/play areas. The breakdown of these projects per county is provided in the table below.
CLÁR 2021 also approved funding for a host of other outdoor amenities such as multi-use games areas, sensory gardens and community gardens.
The full list of successful CLÁR 2021 projects and the successful projects from previous years are available on the Department's website at www.gov.ie/drcd .
