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 depopulation over a defined period.
The 2023 CLÁR programme was delivered under 3 separate measures. The first measure provided support for developing new community facilities and amenities. 265 projects were approved under this measure.
A total of 7 projects were approved under measure 1 in County Carlow to a value of almost €268,000. Details of all successful projects are available on my Department's website. These projects were approved in December 2023 and January 2024 and my officials will continue to liaise with local authorities as implementation progresses.
