Joint Oireachtas Committee on European Union Affairs
Special EU Programmes Body: Engagement with the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform
Ms Catherine Clynes:
I thank the Vice Chairman. The current programmes are fully committed and we expect them to be fully spent. They are actually slightly over-committed at the moment. They are committed to the effect of 102% to 103%. We are hoping to maintain that for the next year. The aim of the SEUPB is very much to come in at 100% drawdown. With the previous INTERREG programme, the drawdown was actually slightly over 100% and for the last PEACE programme it was 99%, so the SEUPB has an excellent track record in managing the funds to maximise them. That will be the aim again.
