I launched the 2019 CLÁR programme on 28 February last. The programme provides funding for small scale infrastructural projects in disadvantaged rural areas that have experienced significant levels of de-population.
Calls for proposals under the 2019 CLÁR programme were invited under the following measures:
Measure 1: Support for Schools/Community Safety Measures; Measure 2: Play Areas (including MUGAs); Measure 3: Community Wellbeing Supports, comprising of:
- 3(a) First Response Support Measure
- 3(b) Support for Mobility and Cancer Care Transport, and
- 3(c) Sensory Gardens.
The closing date for receipt of applications under the 2019 CLÁR Programme was 25 April 2019 and more than 400 applications were received by my Department.
I can confirm that an application has been received in respect of the charity referred to by the Deputy.
My officials are currently assessing all applications received and I hope to be in a position to announce the successful 2019 CLÁR projects shortly.
