Ireland has requested to transfer part of its share of the Brexit Adjustment Reserve, amounting to €150m, to its recovery and resilience plan.
Recovery plan
Together with Ireland's REPowerEU grants allocation (€90m), these funds make the total REPowerEU chapter worth €240m in grants and the EU contribution to Ireland´s recovery plan worth €1.15bn.
Ireland’s recovery and resilience plan supports the green transition through investments including €164m in the electrification and upgrade of Cork commuter rail and €115m in energy efficiency in residential and public buildings.
It also pledges €108m to support biodiversity and ecosystems through the restoration and rehabilitation of wetlands to change land use from peat extraction to carbon sequestration.
