Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 10 March 2022
412. Deputy Carol Nolan asked the Minister for Rural and Community Development the reason that an application for CLÁR funding was denied to a board (details supplied); the conditions the board will have to comply with to enable it to receive CLÁR funding; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [13574/22]
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.
Funding is provided through the CLÁR programme to projects that are physically located within a designated CLÁR area. Maps of designated areas are published at www.gov.ie/en/collection/ab7580-clar-funding-area-maps/.
I understand that the project referred to by the Deputy is not located within a designated CLÁR area and is therefore not eligible for funding under the programme.
