As part of the Government’s programme to support rural development, a number of initiatives including CLÁR, the Rural Recreation Scheme, the Town and Village Renewal Scheme, and REDZ (Rural Economic Development Zones) were launched during 2016.  In general, these initiatives were implemented through the Local Authorities.

All funding was made available in line with the sanction received from the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform and on the basis of funding agreements signed with the Local Authorities.

The following tables outline the amount of funding provided to each Local Authority by programme in 2016 and the most up to date expenditure information available in respect of each scheme. Unless otherwise indicated, the figures reflect the position to the end of September 2017.  It should be noted that not all Local Authorities applied for, or were eligible for, every scheme.

This is the latest expenditure information available at this time.  However, my Department is continuing to work closely with all relevant Local Authorities to ensure that any remaining funding allocated to them is spent promptly and in accordance with the original project proposals.
