MEETEU - To give insight into this new form of citizen participation, we had Citizens' Panel participant Marie-Luise and project coordinator Constantın Schäfer join us this week.

Delighted to see the announcement today from the Department of Finance Ireland that Jack Chambers T.D, Minister For Finance signed the commencement order to officially establish the Future Ireland Fund and Infrastructure, Climate and Nature Fund. The #Future Ireland Fund will help deal with future expenditure pressures including ageing, climate, digitalisation and other fiscal and economic challenges. Its purpose is to support in a consistent and sustainable manner, State expenditure from 2041 onwards. The #Infrastructure, #Climate and #Nature Fund will seek to deal with the pro-cyclicality of public spending and to assist with climate change objectives and nature, water quality and biodiversity issues. The Fund will provide for resources for spending in a future downturn to support expenditure through the economic and fiscal cycle and to support designated environmental projects. #IrishFunds #SustainableFinance #ESG #Governance #Finance #digitalisation
