Amharc ar fhreagraI launched the 2019 CLÁR programme on 28 February last. The programme provides funding for small scale infrastructural projects in disadvantaged rural areas that have experienced significant levels of de-population.
Calls for proposals under the 2019 CLÁR programme were invited under the following measures:
Measure 1: Support for Schools/Community Safety Measures; Measure 2: Play Areas (including MUGAs); Measure 3: Community Wellbeing Supports, comprising of:
- 3(a) First Response Support Measure
- 3(b) Support for Mobility and Cancer Care Transport, and
- 3(c) Sensory Gardens.
The closing date for receipt of applications under the 2019 CLÁR Programme was 25 April 2019 and more than 400 applications were received by my Department.
I can confirm that an application has been received in respect of the charity referred to by the Deputy.
My officials are currently assessing all applications received and I hope to be in a position to announce the successful 2019 CLÁR projects shortly.
