2183. Deputy Michael McNamara asked the Minister for Rural and Community Development when the CLÁR Funding 2022- Project Application for Measure 1 will be announced; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [40559/22]
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 depopulation over a defined period. This year's programme was launched in February last with a total budget of €7 million. This represents an increase of €1.5 million on the budget for the 2021 CLÁR programme.
The measures being funded under CLÁR 2022 are:
- Measure 1: Developing Community Facilities and Amenities
- Measure 2: Mobility, Cancer Care and Community First Responders Transport
- Measure 3: ‘Our Islands’
The 2022 CLÁR programme is now closed for all measures. Announcements on the successful applications under Measures 2 and 3 have been made and these details can be found on my Department’s website. An announcement of the successful applications under Measure 1 of the programme will be made in the coming weeks.
