Chapter 6: Central Government Funding of Local Authorities

Ms Mary Hurley:

The closing date for that was the middle of this month. As the Deputy will be aware, €50 million was made available to communities to acknowledge and recognise the welcome those communities have given to Ukrainians. We received an application for each local authority. We are going through them at the moment. The money will be spread over two years so we will be able to fund some projects this year and some next year. There will be €30 million this year and €20 million next year.
