EU Funding
Dail Éireann — 2021-11-16
============================================================

Michael McGrath (FF), Cork South-Central

We are expected to receive €915 million in grants in 2021 and 2022, with a further set to be allocated in 2023 under the recovery and resilience facility. Since this is EU funding, there is a significant amount of compliance required and we have to ensure we act in a manner that is consistent with the regulations. The instrument is performance based. Ireland will make its first payment claim to the Commission in the second half of 2022 and in each subsequent year until 2026. Over the course of the programme period, 2021 to 2026, projects funded under the national recovery and resilience plan will be put in funds via the Estimates process. That is how we are going to deal with this. The funding will start to flow quite soon. The important thing for us is to ensure we have projects we can deliver and implement on the ground. Those that the Deputy has highlighted are exciting ones to which the Government is fully committed. We look forward to implementing them.
