An application in respect of the project referred to by the Deputy was received by my Department under Measure 2 of the 2020 CLÁR programme.

The programme was launched in May 2020 with applications invited under three separate Measures:

Measure1: Support for Schools/Community Safety Measures

Measure 2: Community Recreation Areas (new for 2020)

Measure 3: Community Wellbeing Support

(a) Meals on Wheels and linked services (new in 2020)

(b) Mobility and Cancer Care Transport,

I announced the successful projects under Measures 1 and 2 of the programme on 2^ndNovember, with €4.1 million allocated to 115 projects under these Measures.

Unfortunately, it was not possible to fund all of the applications which were submitted, as the Measures were significantly oversubscribed. The project referred to by the Deputy was not successful on this occasion.

Details of the successful projects which were approved for funding under Measures 1 and 2 of the CLÁR programme are available on my Department's pages of the Gov.ie website.

Successful projects under Measure 3 of the CLÁR programme will be announced shortly, following assessment of the applications received.
