Minister for Rural and Community Development

I propose to take Questions Nos. 1163 to 1176, inclusive, together.

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 of 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 I can confirm that applications have been received in respect of all of the schools/groups referred to by the Deputy. However, more than 400 applications were received in total by my Department.

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 shortly.
