Ireland's National Recovery and Resilience Plan (NRRP) has now been approved by the Government and submitted to the European Commission.   

The NRRP has been developed by the Government so that Ireland can access funding under the EU’s Recovery and Resilience Facility.   Ireland is expected to receive €915 million in grants under the Facility in 2021 and 2022.  A further set of grants is to be allocated in 2023, taking into account economic developments between now and then. 

The NRRP sets out the reforms and investments to be supported by the Recovery and Resilience Facility.  It includes a set of sixteen 16 investment projects and nine reform measures to a total value of around €1 billion, focussing on advancing the green transition; accelerating and expanding digital reforms and transformation; and social and economic recovery and job creation.  

Ireland’s Plan will now be assessed by the European Commission which will, within two months, make a recommendation to the Council of the European Union, on the basis of which implementation of the Plan will commence and EU financial support will start to flow.
