Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 24 November 2022
342. Deputy Catherine Murphy asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine if he will provide a schedule by local authority, heading and amount of the funding and grants returned and or unspent in part or in full to his Department in 2019, 2020, 2021 and to date in 2022. [58598/22]
View answerI wish to inform the Deputy that under the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine’s Fishery Harbour and Coast Infrastructure Development Programme, Local Authorities claim eligible project costs from my Department when the liability has matured (i.e., on a vouched basis), following verification and inspection of the works undertaken. For this reason, funding is not returned unspent.
