Almost €400,000 has been provided to state-backed voluntary groups in Clare since 2016.

Figures released by Minister of State for Community Affairs Seán Canney show that so far this year, €103,000 has been granted to volunteering initiatives and schemes here.

That has matched the total figure for both 2017 and 2018, while it’s well up on the €80,000 issued to Clare in 2016.

The Minister says funding for schemes administered by his Department is issued in two tranches each year, meaning it is unlikely that there will be any increase in figures this year.
