“Today’s announcement of over €12 million will see 206 projects being delivered in communities across the country and on our offshore Islands. I was particularly pleased to include a specific provision for projects in Gaeltacht areas this year. “These projects will no doubt make a valuable contribution to the people who live in and visit these communities.
“With today’s announcement, I have now allocated €14 million to projects under CLÁR this year – the highest allocation since the scheme was reintroduced in 2016. “The funding continues to grow as we see the huge impact this funding has in our rural areas.”
