1293. To ask the Tánaiste and Minister for Justice and Equality if funding (details supplied) that has been allocated has been drawn down and spent; if there has been a follow-up or appraisal of the funding given under the various programmes or headings; if any of the allocated funding has been recouped or unspent; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

I wish to advise the Deputy that the amount of funding my Department allocated to the named organisation from 2017 until 2019 was €270,655.21. Over this time period, this funding was provided as part of the work of the Office for the Promotion of Migrant Integration (OPMI) and the Irish Refugee Protection Programme (IRPP).
As the Deputy may be aware, responsibility for the OPMI and the IRPP transferred to the Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth in 2020 under the new Programme for Government. My Department has not provided any further funding in this regard since the transfer of those functions.
