Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 13 December 2023
262. Deputy Brendan Griffin asked the Minister for Rural and Community Development when the next CLÁR funding recipients will be announced for County Kerry; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [55796/23]
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.
So far this year I have approved funding of over €6.7 million for 150 projects across the CLÁR areas. I was pleased to announce the approval of funding of over €2 million for 37 projects under Measure 2 in August of this year. This included support for six projects in County Kerry.
Earlier this month I approved funding of over €4.7 million for 113 sports infrastructure projects nationwide. Included in these approvals were four projects in County Kerry.
I expect to announce further approvals under Measure 1 (Developing Community Facilities & Amenities) and Measure 3 (Our Islands) shortly.
A full list of approved projects can be found on my Departments website at: www.gov.ie/en/collection/1c20c-clar-2023-funding-approvals/
