The school referred to by the Deputy is included in the recently extended CLÁR areas.

As I have previously outlined, the measures that are currently open to the extended CLÁR areas are as follows: LIS Roads; Flashing Amber Safety Lights at Schools; Small Public Water and Sewerage Schemes; Group Water Schemes; CLÁR Water Conservation Measure; Village and Countryside Enhancement Scheme; Bi-lingual Signage Scheme; Gaeltacht Grants top-up; Single to Three phase Electricity Conversion; Community Initiatives of a Capital Nature; and Coastal and Harbour Development.

Further announcements will be made in due course on the expansion of other measures to the new areas, including the CLÁR School Outdoor Play Facilities Enhancement Scheme.
