Comharchumann Chléire Teoranta

Cape Clear Cooperative was established in 1969 to administer the new electrical system on the island and to create employment through the development and support of fishing, farming and tourism. It is run under the ICOS rules structure and has a voluntary committee who are elected every year at the Annual General Meeting. It exists for the purposes of developing the island community and ensuring it’s sustainability.

Over the years the Co-op has developed significantly and administers the island Enterprise Centre for Údarás na Gaeltachta where its offices are situated.  It manages other premises which house offices, childcare and hairdressing facilities, woodworking workshop and fuel services.
