Public Accounts Committee

2020 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 40 - Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth

9:30 am

Mr. Kevin McCarthy:

As I understand the matter, it relates mainly to programme refugees. It is an EU fund that is aimed at supporting the fair and even distribution of migrants across Europe. Supports are provided to member States that participate in the programme. Ireland has an option to opt in so we incur expenditure in receiving and resettling refugees under that programme and some of the expenditure then is claimable under the asylum, migration and integration fund.
