* The 2021 figure includes €163, 732, approved under previous Dormant Account Action Plans, which was unspent at the end of 2020, as NFTE drawdown is made on an academic year basis. As a result, a grant of €211,268 was approved in the 2021 Dormant Account Fund Action Plan towards NFTE, providing a total of €375,000 to Foróige in 2021.
