My Department's CLÁR programme provides funding under a number of different measures for small-scale infrastructural projects in designated rural areas.
Last week I announced €1.7m for 32 vehicles under measure 2 of the 2025 programme. I look forward to announcing the successful measure 1 and measure 3 projects later in the year.
The attached table outlines the details requested in respect of projects in Counties Carlow and Kilkenny from 2020 to date. The term LA in the table refers to local authority led projects whereas projects under some measures are via direct applications from groups to my Department.
