Amharc ar fhreagraIn my reply to Parliamentary Questions 198 and 199 on 17 January last, I outlined the funding available under the Asylum, Migration and Integration Fund and the objectives on which it is to be spent. I also stated that there is provision for switching allocations between objectives depending on where a greater need might arise and that I was confident that our national allocation will be spent by end 2022. The operation of the Fund is subject to ongoing review at senior level in my Department to ensure that the monies available are fully utilised over this period.
