The 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 level of funding provided for the CLÁR programme in 2021 was €5.5 million and this was increased to €7 million under Budget 2022.

In 2021, Measure 2 of the CLÁR programme supported Outdoor Community Recreation Facilities and funding for Multi-Use Gaming Areas (MUGAS) was an eligible activity under this Measure . Applications for funding were submitted via local authorities. The 2021 Programme is now closed and all successful projects have been announced.

The Measures to be funded in 2022 are currently being reviewed and I expect to launch the 2022 CLÁR Programme in the coming weeks.
