Joint Oireachtas Committee on European Union Affairs: European Court of Auditors Annual Report 2020: Discussion (19 Jan 2022)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: That is fair enough. I do not want to take liberties. I am interested in hearing about the BAR and the RRF, and the draw down of the money. Mr. Murphy spoke about the fact that a certain percentage of the RRF can be drawn down in quarter 3 of 2023. I am trying to understand the free flow and whether it will have an impact on the projects. Beyond that, the question that I usually throw in...
