Call for Expressions of Interest 

 

The Minister for Rural and Community Development and the Gaeltacht, Minister Dara Calleary TD has launched the 2026 CLÁR Funding Programme making available grants from  €5,000 to €100,000 for small infrastructural projects in designated areas. 

 

CLÁR (Ceantair Laga Árd-Riachtanais) is a targeted investment programme for rural areas that aims to provide funding for small infrastructural projects in designated rural areas that have experienced significant levels of de-population and/or socio-economic disadvantage and geographic remoteness. The programme is funded by the Department of Rural & Community Development & the Gaeltacht (DRCDG). Measure 1 – Developing Community Facilities and Amenities is administered by the Local Authority.

 

Wexford County Council invites Expressions of Interest from schools, community and voluntary groups and local development companies  that may have a suitable project for consideration under the Scheme. Projects proposed must be located within one of the following CLÁR areas:
