Funding of €617,094 has been approved for 15 projects across Mayo under the Measure 1 of the Clár programme.
That’s according to Minister Alan Dillon.
Grants of between €5,000 and €50,000 are being provided through the Department of Rural and Community Development for the projects which provide support for the development of community and sports facilities, youth clubs, playgrounds, sensory gardens, walking tracks, etc.
