Ceist:

72. Deputy Éamon Ó Cuív asked the Minister for Rural and Community Development the extra measures it is planned to roll out under the CLÁR programme in 2018; his plans to introduce a measure to support group water schemes in CLÁR areas with the aim of ensuring that the last areas in the country that do not have access to either a public water supply or a high-quality group scheme will get such a service at a reasonable cost; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Minister for Rural and Community Development

The 2017 CLÁR programme provided total funding of just under €7 million for 230 projects across four Measures as follows:

Measure 1: Support for School and Community Safety Measures

Measure 2: Play Areas

Measure 3: Targeted Community Infrastructure

Measure 4: First Responder Supports

I propose to launch a further round of the CLÁR programme in 2018 and I will be considering the measures to be supported over the coming weeks.
