View answerCLÁR is designed to support a vast array of community based projects such as astro-turf facilities, playgrounds, sensory gardens, outdoor cinemas, walking tracks and community gyms.
Since the programme was relaunched in 2016, it has supported a wide range of measures with over €70 million being approved for almost 2400 projects throughout rural Ireland.
Funding of almost €13 million for 302 projects was approved under CLÁR 2023.
The measures funded under CLÁR 2023 were:
• Developing Community Facilities and Amenities (Measure 1)
• Mobility, Cancer Care and Community First Responders Transport (Measure 2)
• ‘Our Islands’ (Measure 3)
My Department received 15 applications from County Cavan under measure 1 with a combined value of over €637,000. No applications for measure 2 projects were received from organisations in Cavan.
Following the assessment process, 14 of these applications were approved with associated funding of over €587,000. These are listed in the table below.
