Said Minister Ring: "I am delighted to be in a position to announce over €340,000 in funding from my department’s CLÁR programme to improve safety around schools and community facilities.

“This includes the installation of measures such as pedestrian crossings, flashing lights and speed indicators in villages and adjacent to schools and community facilities. This funding will help to keep our children and all members of these communities safe. There is also funding for the enhancement of the playground in Bofeenaun.

“There was a significant response to the call for funding under the CLÁR Measures that I announced earlier this year.

"These initiatives have come from the communities themselves in cooperation with Mayo County Council and they are a great example of what can be achieved when everyone works together for the good of the community.

“I am delighted to be able to provide substantial CLÁR funding in order to ensure that these very worthwhile projects are delivered.

“In the last two years I have allocated over €2.5 million to 70 community projects in Mayo through CLÁR. It never fails to impress me how much can be achieved with relatively modest investments through this programme.”
