We are writing a new LEADER Plan 2023-2027. We’d love to hear your ideas on how to make Clare a better place for all, in which to live, work and socialise. Tell us what you think needs to be done by completing our online survey here
LEADER is an EU wide rural development programme supporting the growth and development of rural communities and businesses, and protecting the rural environment.
Funded by the EU and the Irish Government, LEADER provides funding, training, guidance to community groups and supports for rural business.
