Members held official meetings with Irish Ministers and the Irish parliamentary committee on Budgetary Oversight, and met local stakeholders to discuss how smart and inclusive growth can be promoted even more effectively through the EU budget as well as the next Multiannual Financial Framework. The delegation also covered a wide variety of EU interventions in Ireland, ranging from EU support for research and innovation through Horizon 2020, EIB-funded infrastructure projects, second-chance education projects funded through the European Social Fund and the Youth Employment Initiative, and EU support for local SME development. Upon its return, the delegation will report on its findings to the full committee. Source : © European Union, 2018 - EP QUESTIONS?
