Amharc ar fhreagraEU regulations govern the procedures to be followed in relation to penalties and different rules apply to Pillar I schemes which are fully funded by the European Union and Pillar II schemes which are co-funded by the Exchequer.
Funds collected as a result of the application of penalties under Pillar I schemes are not available for redistribution and are reimbursed directly to the EU. However for Pillar II schemes this funding can be re-used.
