The European Commission has approved Ireland’s fourth payment request for €249 million under the Recovery and Resilience Facility of NextGenerationEU. The assessment found that Ireland has met the five milestones and three targets set in the Council Implementing Decision. The funds will support reforms and investments in railway electrification, e‑health, public administration, higher education, reskilling, and renewable energy. Key projects include accelerating the connection of 5 GW of offshore wind to the grid, deploying an integrated financial management system in 46 hospitals to streamline procurement and improve price transparency, and training over 85,000 people through the SOLAS Green Skills Action Programme and Skills to Compete. The Commission has forwarded its preliminary assessment to the Economic and Financial Committee; payment will proceed after the Committee’s opinion and a Commission payment decision. The €929 million now paid represents 80 % of Ireland’s €1.15 billion RRF grant plan and 80 % of its milestones.
