The Deputy will be aware that my Department has approved over €126 million in funding for 79 innovative enterprise focused projects under the Regional Enterprise Development Fund (REDF), Border Enterprise Development Fund (BEDF) and Regional Enterprise Transition Scheme (RETS).

Last year Enterprise Ireland provided additional funding to existing REDF and BEDF projects impacted by increased construction costs to allow for the completion of eligible projects as originally planned. €6 million in funding was allocated in 2022 and a further €6 million is available this year and next.

Enterprise Ireland has advised me that the number of projects which secured approved funding under the ‘Addendum to the REDF and BEDF 2017-2020 Construction Inflation Costs 2022’ fund and the amount of funding per county is as follows.
