The Minister for Public Expenditure, NDP Delivery and Reform, Paschal Donohoe this week launched Ireland’s public consultation on the future of the European Union’s Cohesion Policy. This forms part of a wider process which is being facilitated by the Department of Public Expenditure, NDP Delivery and Reform in advance of negotiations on the post 2027 Cohesion Policy Legislative Package expected to be presented in mid-2025.

This public consultation will be followed by a National Forum meeting later in the year. The combined results will contribute directly to Ireland’s position on this key EU policy post 2027. The consultation is open until 18 February 2024.
