Funding of €4.5 million has been allocated from the capital carryover allocation of €24 million  for Enterprise Ireland subhead A7 in REV 2023 by way of initial support for the Ukraine Enterprise Crisis Scheme this year.

As agreed by Government, my Department will engage with the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform to secure additional substantial funding for the Scheme from the contingency identified in Budget 2023 to fund temporary measures related to ongoing impacts of Covid  and the Ukrainian crisis.

It will be recalled that the EU Commission has already approved state aid funding for this Scheme of up to €200 million.
