“I understand how important it is to prioritise sustainable rural development and the CLÁR programme is a great scheme to help make our communities better places to live, work and raise families. Schools and community groups work alongside Mayo County Council to put forward these initiatives and the CLÁR funding is then crucial to getting the projects over the line.”
