€1m funding for forestry roads

Ireland: An allocation of almost €1 million for works to be carried out on forestry access roads in CLÁR areas was announced yesterday by Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs Minister Eamon Ó Cuiv.

CLÁR is a programme designed to tackle the problem of depopulation, decline and lack of services in rural areas.

In the last three years, 42 projects, costing more than €2.7m, have been funded under the scheme.
