109. Deputy Jennifer Whitmore asked the Minister for Finance the amount of funding set aside, from windfall taxes, for the Climate Action Fund for 2024-2026, as referenced in the Summer Economic Statement 2023, including the amount ringfenced for nature restoration; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Amharc ar fhreagraIn the Summer Economic Statement 2023 it was announced €2¼ billion in windfall tax receipts would be made available to support the delivery of infrastructure projects over the period 2024 to 2026, as well as to make a contribution to the Climate Action Fund for nature restoration. This approach makes use of these potentially transient revenues to build long-lasting improvements to our economy and our society.
The specific allocation of such funding is a matter for my colleague the Minister for Public Expenditure, NDP Delivery and Reform.
