My Department does not currently have a funding programme open for applications towards the cost of procuring a community bus.

However, as the Deputy will be aware, my Department administers the CLÁR programme which aims to support the sustainable development of designated areas which have suffered significant levels of depopulation in the past. 

The CLÁR programme is delivered through different funding Measures and has previously included a measure for Mobility and Cancer Care Transport. This did not include funding for Community buses.
