Proposals for the sectorial legislation governing the post 2020 round of EU Structural Funds are due to be published by the European Commission later this year. That legislation will set out the framework, including the eligibility criteria, under which structural funds programmes in Ireland must be designed. 

While the Irish programmes must adhere to the primary framework of the EU legislation, they will also be aligned with national frameworks and strategies, where relevant. This will include the National Planning Framework and the Regional Spatial and Economic Strategies.
