The Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI) has been advised that its maximum approved level of net non-capital expenditure for 2020 is €17.172 million. This is an increase of €1.2m (7.5%) on the FSAI’s 2019 approved level of net non-capital funding (€15.972m). A 5.5% increase in 2021 would amount to an additional €0.944 million approximately.
