€4,901 has been provided under the Clár scheme for the upgrading of the electricity supply at Falty, Oldtown, Athlone, to facilitate Moore United soccer club. The grants for the conversion or installation of three-phase electricity were announced this week by Éamon Ó Cuív TD, the Minister for Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs. The funding was welcomed by Senator Terry Leyden and Deputy Michael Finneran. For businesses/enterprises, sports clubs and community centres in Clár areas, the Clár programme pays their customer contribution to the ESB for conversion/installation of three-phase electricity. These conversions benefit not only the individual applicants but also the area in general. They serve as commercial and infrastructural assets, enhancing the level of access to goods and services in Clár areas.
