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 were received. I can confirm that an application in respect of the school referred to by the Deputy has been received under Measure 2 (Play Areas/Multi-Use Games Areas).
On 29 June, I announced funding of €4.8 million for 170 projects under Measure 1. Details of the successful projects under this Measure are available on my Department's website, www.drcd.gov.ie.
I hope to be in a position to announce the successful projects under Measures 2 and 3 very shortly.
