Written answers

While the draft PEACE PLUS programme has been approved by the Irish Government and the North-South Ministerial Council, the Special EU Programmes Body (SEUPB) are currently finalising the document for next stage of the process - namely, approval by the EU Commission.

In the meantime, my officials are collaborating closely with their counterparts in the Department for the Economy to identify agreed proposals to support this innovative skills initiative, which will inform the development of any Calls for Proposals to be issued by SEUPB in 2022.
