Some problems arise with the local authorities. When community groups come to the local authorities they may find they are not actually in a CLÁR area. In any event, the funding must be used exclusively in a CLÁR area. It is illegal if a group spends that money elsewhere. The programme is quite specific and the maps and criteria are set down. I am having the CLÁR programme and the areas reviewed this year.
