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.
