As the Deputy will be aware, CLÁR is an important part of the Government’s Action Plan for Rural Development and focuses on areas which have suffered the greatest levels of population decline.
The table outlines the amount allocated under the CLÁR programme to each Local Authority in 2017 and 2018, the amount paid to each Local Authority up to 30 June 2019 in respect of each year's allocation, and the percentage of the allocation paid at that date.
All Local Authorities were requested to submit their final outturn in respect of 2017 allocations by the end of June this year and my officials are currently working on closing out the 2017 programme. My officials will also be asking Local Authorities to complete their 2018 CLÁR projects with a view to closing this programme round as soon as possible.
