My Department's CLÁR scheme is a targeted investment programme that provides funding for small scale infrastructural projects in designated rural areas.

The 2024 CLÁR programme was launched on the 12thApril last. The measures to be included in the CLÁR programme are reviewed and revised, if appropriate, each year.

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)
The project application referred to by the Deputy has been received by my Department. My officials are currently assessing all applications under the CLÁR 2024 scheme and I hope to be in a position to announce all successful projects later this year.
