Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 23 June 2015
352. Deputy Peadar Tóibín asked the Minister for Justice and Equality if she will provide an update on the roll-out of the asylum migration and integration fund; and if Ireland will be in a position to make a call for applications under the fund in the coming weeks. [24494/15]
View answerThe draft national programme under the Asylum, Migration and Integration Fund, which is being considered by the European Commission, will be circulated to the partnership of non-governmental organisations and other relevant interests, established in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 514/2014 of the European Parliament and the Council, within the next week. While it is not known precisely when the Commission will be in a position to approve the programme, I would anticipate that a call for applications will be made in the coming months.
