Today (Thursday 11 July), Minister Paschal Donohoe and Minister for Finance Jack Chambers welcomed delegates to Ireland’s National Recovery and Resilience Plan (NRRP) annual event held in the Aviva Stadium, Dublin. Under the modified NRRP, Ireland will receive €1.15 billion in grants over the period of the RRF (2024-2026) covering the priorities of Advancing the Green Transition, Accelerating and Expanding Digital Reforms and Transformation, Social and Economic Recovery and Job Creation and REPowerEU. Minister Donohoe remarked: “Today, I welcome Minister Chambers, the Commission team, Ambassadors and delegates to Ireland’s National Recovery and Resilience Plan’s Annual Event here in the Aviva Stadium. The RRF is the main pillar of the European recovery plan, NextGenerationEU, designed to provide financial aid to Member States to combat the economic and social effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and make the European economy more resistant to future shocks.” The overall objective of Ireland’s NRRP is to contribute to a sustainable, equitable, green and digital recovery effort, in a manner that complements and supports the Government’s broader recovery efforts. Minister Donohoe continued: “I am delighted that today we also officially mark the successful completion of Ireland’s First Payment Request of €324million under our National Recovery and Resilience Plan. This first payment follows extensive engagement between Departments across Government and the European Commission with preparation for Ireland’s second payment request well underway.” This year’s Annual NRRP Event will mark the submission and approval of Ireland’s first payment request under NextGenerationEU worth €324m, as well as the approval of the REPowerEU addition (€240m) to the NRRP.

It was great to welcome the Ministers to Tom Johnson House a living example of how the RRF funding is advancing the Green Transition (NRRP Priority 1- project 1.3 – A Public Sector Retrofit Pathfinder Project). The Ministers got to see how a deep retrofit of public office accommodation has delivered a great working space for the Department of the Environment, Climate and Communications!
