Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 16 May 2023
177. Deputy Joe Flaherty asked the Minister for the Environment, Climate and Communications if he will provide an update on a grant application under the circular economy innovation grant scheme 2022 from a company (details supplied). [22991/23]
Amharc ar fhreagraAll applicants to the Circular Economy Innovation Grant Scheme's [CEIGS] 2022 funding call have been informed by the Department, on 12 May 2023, as to whether or not they were selected for funding. A formal public announcement of the names of those applicants who have selected for grant funding will be made later this month. All awards of grant funding are conditional on a grant agreement being put in place between the Department and the grantee.
As with the previous funding call, applications in 2022 far exceeded the level of CEIGS funding available. The Department acknowledges the high level of interest that exists in relation to the CEIGS and intends to increase the total amount of funding available for the scheme's 2023 funding call later this year.
