Vol. 559 No. 1

Written Answers. - CLÁR Programme.

Paul McGrath

Ceist:

441 Mr. P. McGrath asked the Minister for Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs if he will investigate the possibility of extending the CLÁR area in County Westmeath to include Fore, Collinstown, Drumcree and Delvin in view of the population decline in areas of North Westmeath. [25945/02]

An Agreed Programme for Government contains a commitment for annual funding for the CLÁR programme and to consider additional areas for inclusion in light of the 2002 population census results. The national institute for regional and spatial analysis at NUI Maynooth has recently completed its analysis of the 2002 population census and my Department is examining the results in the context of the review of the areas in the CLÁR programme.
