No funding applications have been accepted since August 2008 under the main measures of the CLÁR Programme, including those that supported water infrastructure. Given the reduced funding available to my Department, the CLÁR Programme, which was targeted at tackling infrastructure and services deficits in depopulated rural areas, has been wound down.
