Overseas Development Assistance (ODA) has increased year-on-year since 2014 with Budget 2021 announcing an overall allocation of €868 million for Irish Aid.
The ODA allocation for Budget 2022 is currently under review within my Department. My officials are engaging with the Department of Foreign Affairs in relation to this matter which will form part of the annual estimates process discussions.
