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 2022 CLÁR programme was launched on the 24th February last with an increased budget of €7 million and is now open for applications.
The measures being funded under CLÁR 2022 are:
Measure 1: Developing Community Facilities & Amenities
Measure 2: Mobility, Cancer Care and Community First Responders Transport
Measure 3: Our Islands
Applications will only be accepted through local authorities under measure 1. Applications can be submitted directly to my Department in respect of measures 2 and 3.
Details of the various measures, including the relevant Scheme Outline and eligibility criteria, are available on my Department's website.
