The 2024 CLÁR programme was launched on the 12^th April last with a total budget of €8.7 million. This was an increase of €900,000 on the 2023 allocation.

The measures being funded under CLÁR 2024 are:

• Measure 1: Developing Community Facilities & Amenities (funding up to €50,000)
• Measure 2: Mobility, Cancer Care, First Responder and Meals on Wheels Transport (funding up to €100,000)
• Measure 3: Our Islands (funding up to €120,000)

Each year I review the measures to be included under the CLÁR programme, with a view to ensuring its continued efficient and effective operation, and this will again be the case in advance of the next iteration of CLÁR.
