Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 2 June 2022
426. Deputy Brendan Griffin asked the Minister for Rural and Community Development the status of an application for Clár funding by a club (details supplied); and if she will make a statement on the matter. [28679/22]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe CLÁR programme provides funding under a number of different measures for small-scale infrastructural projects in designated rural areas that have experienced significant levels of de-population over a defined period. I launched this year's programme in February with a total budget of €7 million. This represents an increase of €1.5 million on the budget for the 2021 CLÁR programme.
The measures being funded under CLÁR 2022 are:
Measure 1: Developing Community Facilities & Amenities
Measure 2: Mobility, Cancer Care and Community First Responders Transport
Measure 3: ‘Our Islands’
The 2022 CLÁR programme is now closed for all measures and the assessment process has commenced for all applications.
I can confirm that an application has been received from the group referred to by the Deputy under Measure 1 of the programme.
I hope to make an announcement on the successful applicants under Measures 2 and 3 in the coming weeks and Measure 1 will be announced later this year.
