Support to assist people with reduced mobility and those accessing cancer care services

During a visit to St. Dymphna's special education school in Ballina, Minister for Rural and Community Development and the Gaeltacht, Dara Calleary TD, has today (Friday, 12th September) announced €1.7 million to deliver 32 vehicles under the 2025 CLÁR programme.

The vehicles will provide much needed support for people with reduced mobility accessing day care, medical and other services, and for people that require transport services to access cancer treatment. This funding is also supporting the purchase of vital vehicles by community first responders, search and rescue organisations and meals on wheels groups.
