CLÁR is a targeted capital investment programme for rural areas which have experienced significant levels of depopulation.

I launched the 2018 CLÁR programme on the 15th of March last, with an indicative allocation of €5 million for qualifying projects under the following measures:

Measure 1: Support for Schools/Community Safety Measures

Measure 2: Play Areas/Multi-Use Games Areas

Measure 3: First Response Support Measure

The closing date for CLÁR 2018 was the 30th of April and I can confirm that an application was received in respect of the school referred to by the Deputy.

More than 400 applications have been received by my Department and my officials are currently assessing these proposals.  I hope to be in a position to announce the successful 2018 CLÁR projects in the coming weeks, following the completion of the assessment process.

An application does not appear to have been received in respect of the group referred to by the Deputy. However, if the Deputy wishes to provide me with further information, I will look further into the matter.

My officials are currently assessing all applications received under the 2018 CLÁR programme and I hope to be in a position to announce the successful 2018 CLÁR projects in the coming weeks.
