Question:

83. Deputy Bríd Smith asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Justice and Equality when she will announce funding calls for and the duration of the new grant round under the new asylum migration and integration fund which the European Commission signed in 2015. [14269/16]

Written answers

Tánaiste and Minister for Justice and Equality

I hope that a call under this Fund can take place in early September. Full details have yet to be decided but I would envisage that the duration of the projects selected will be up to three years.

Separate arrangements will apply to the Return area of the Fund.
