The Minister for Rural and Community Development, Michael Ring T.D., on Friday 10th August announced details of the Mobility and Cancer Care Transport Measure, which is part of his Department's CLÁR Programme.

This new €1.5 million measure will support the purchase of vehicles by voluntary organisations in CLÁR areas that provide transport services to people for cancer treatment and for persons with significant mobility issues in order to enable them to access support. Minister Ring has allocated €1.5 for this measure for 2018.

Details of the funding measure and the application form are attached and are available here

Qualifying voluntary organisations should apply by the 31st August deadline. The scheme will provide up to 85% of the total cost of a vehicle/fit out. Matching funding of at least 15% will be required. Full details of the new CLÁR Measure are available on the Department's website at www.drcd.gov.ie
