Future Ireland Fund and Infrastructure, Climate and Nature Fund Bill 2024: Committee Stage
10:30 am
Seán Kyne (Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source
I wish to refer, briefly, to section 20 and the designated environmental projects. It states that a Minister of the Government may designate a project. Is that what is called additionality rather than substituting for projects that were proposed? I apologise if this may have been discussed during pre-legislative scrutiny as I am standing in for Senator Byrne. I presume it is additonality. It is over and beyond whatever requirements and not just using this fund to supplement or replace funding that was earmarked and voted on anyway?
