The CLÁR programme provides funding for small scale infrastructural projects in disadvantaged rural areas that have experienced significant levels of de-population.  The 2017 CLÁR programme was launched on 31st March 2017, with a closing date of 5th May 2017.

Over 500 applications were received under the programme and successful projects were announced in May and June, with a total of just under €7 million allocated to approximately 230 projects. Details of the approved projects are available on my Department's website at: .

As has been pointed out in two previous relies to the Deputy, most recently on 26th September 2017, an application for funding under the CLÁR programme does not appear to have been received from the group referred to by the Deputy. 

The CLÁR programme is now closed for applications for 2017.
