The Partnership Agreement sets out Ireland’s investment strategy for its Cohesion Policy Funds. Ireland will receive €1.4 billion in Cohesion Policy funding for the 2021 to 2027 period. When this funding is co-financed at a national level, it will mean Cohesion Policy programmes add a total value of almost €3.5 billion to the economy. These funds will strengthen economic, social and territorial cohesion and further reduce disparities between different regions, including in the Northern and Western region.

I will be bring the Partnership Agreement to Government in the coming weeks and I intend to publish the document on my department's website after that point.
