‘Fantastic’ €50k for Clondrohid GAA in recent CLÁR funding

- MARIA HERLIHY

A hefty €50,000 cheque will make its way to Clondrohid GAA under the CLÁR funding programme.

At the Blarney Macroom Municipal District meeting on Friday last, Cllr Michael Creed (FG) welcomed the €50,000 for the local club. The CLÁR programme is a targeted investment programme which provides funding for small-scale infrastruc­tural projects in rural areas that have suffered the greatest levels of population decline.

The aim of CLÁR is to support the sustainabl­e developmen­t of identified CLÁR areas by attracting people to live and work there.

The funding works in conjunctio­n with local funding and on locally identified priorities.

Clondrohid GAA received the good news from Minister for Agricultur­e Michael Creed on Facebook, when he posted: “Good News for Clondrohid GAA this morning with €50,000 granted for footpaths and car parking facilities under CLÁR.” In response the club said the news was “Fantastic”.
