Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 8 May 2018
439. Deputy Eamon Scanlon asked the Minister for Rural and Community Development the status of an application for CLÁR funding submitted by an association (details supplied) in County Cork; when final decisions on 2018 applications will be made public; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [20033/18]
Amharc ar fhreagraCLÁR is a targeted capital investment programme for rural areas which have experienced significant levels of depopulation.
I launched the 2018 CLÁR programme on 15th March last, with an indicative allocation of €5 million for qualifying projects under the following measures:
Measure 1: Support for Schools/Community Safety Measures
Measure 2: Play Areas/Multi-Use Games Areas
Measure 3: First Response Support Measure
The closing date for CLÁR 2018 was 30th April. More than 400 applications were received in total by my Department. An application does not appear to have been received in respect of the association referred to by the Deputy. However, if the Deputy wishes to provide me with further information, I will look further into the matter.
My officials are currently assessing all applications received under the 2018 CLÁR programme and I hope to be in a position to announce the successful 2018 CLÁR projects in the coming weeks.
