Appendix

CLÁR Village and Countryside Enhancement Scheme CLÁR supports the joint Village and Countryside Enhancement Scheme operated by the LEADER companies and the local authorities covering small-scale infrastructural projects. Eligible projects include amenity areas and parks, footpaths and walking areas, playgrounds and other recreational facilities, local heritage projects, tidy town projects, public lighting, enhancing streetscapes, church car parks etc. Projects promoted by Sporting Clubs/Organisations, which are outside their mainstream sporting activities and of general benefit to the local community, can also be considered for funding. The funding may also be used for the establishment of farmers' markets or the upgrade of existing farmers' markets in CLÁR areas. The average cost per project is €100,000 funded as follows:

•33.33% to be funded by CLÁR to a max of €33,333

•16.66% to be funded by the LEADER Group to a max of €16,666

•16.66% matching local contribution.

•33.33% to be funded by the local authority.

As per LEADER Operating Rules, voluntary labour and donations i.e. buildings, land etc., can be included as part of the local matching funding. However, 10% of the local contribution must be in the form of cash. In the event of a project costing more than €100,000, the excess private funding can be sourced from either the local contribution and/or the local authority.

Expenditure to date

This expenditure relates to projects approved in 2005 and early 2006 when the maximum cost per project was €30,000. The same percentage funding ratios applied. The increase to €100,000 per project is effective from May 2006.
