Mr. O'Dowd
asked the
Minister for Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs
his plans to extend CLÁR to the offshore islands; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
[19839/02]
Minister for Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs (Éamon Ó Cuív):
I have commissioned the National Institute for Regional and Spatial Analysis at NUI, Maynooth, to analyse the 2002 population census data to assist me in reviewing the CLÁR areas. An Agreed Programme for Government contains a commitment to review the census data and consider additional areas for inclusion. At present, CLÁR covers some inhabited islands in Donegal, Mayo, Galway and Cork in line with the criteria used for the selection of CLÁR areas. I expect the review will be completed by the end of 2002.
