CLÁR is a targeted capital investment programme for rural areas which have experienced significant levels of depopulation.
I launched the 2018 CLÁR programme on the 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 and more than 400 applications have been received. I can confirm that an application in respect of the school referred to by the Deputy has been received.
My officials are currently assessing all applications submitted under the 2018 CLÁR programme and I hope to be in a position to announce the successful projects in the coming weeks.
