My Department's CLÁR programme provides funding under a number of different measures for small-scale infrastructural projects in designated rural areas that have experienced disadvantage and significant levels of depopulation over a defined period.

I launched the 2025 CLÁR programme on 4 April and applications were invited under three separate measures as follows:

• Measure 1 supports the development of community facilities and amenities.
• Measure 2 provides support for the provision of vehicles to transport people with mobility issues or for cancer treatment, vehicles for community first responders and vehicles for meals on wheels services.
• Measure 3 supports communities on our offshore islands in line with the Departments policy for the development of our inhabited offshore islands, ‘Our Living Islands’
