I propose to take Questions Nos. 1182 and 1185 together.
CLÁR is a targeted capital investment programme for rural areas which have experienced significant levels of depopulation.
I launched the 2018 CLÁR programme on 15th March last, with an indicative allocation of €5 million for qualifying projects under the following measures:
Measure 1: Support for Schools/Community Safety Measures
Measure 2: Play Areas/Multi-Use Games Areas
Measure 3: First Response Support Measure
The closing date for CLÁR 2018 was 30th April and more than 400 applications were received in total by my Department.
No application appears to have been received in respect of either of the groups referred to by the Deputy. However, if the Deputy wishes to provide me with further information, I will look further into the matter.
My officials are currently assessing all applications submitted under the 2018 CLÁR programme and I hope to be in a position to announce the successful projects shortly.
