On 2 December, the Taoiseach announced an additional €125 million in financial support for Ukraine as part of a new roadmap for partnership with Ireland to cover the next five years.
The allocation is made up of a €100 million allocation towards the procurement of non-lethal military support and a €25 million allocation to support the restoration and protection of Ukrainian energy infrastructure and the provision of essential energy supplies.
These measures build on supports that Ireland has provided to Ukraine since the full-scale invasion by Russia in 2022.
In terms of providing military support, Ireland has engaged in procurement partnerships with EU Member States. Working with trusted partners that have relevant experience ensures good governance and value for money.
The allocation of €25 million to support the restoration and protection of Ukrainian energy infrastructure and the provision of essential energy supplies will be provided in a manner that meets the most urgent needs of Ukraine.
Within the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, the independent Evaluation and Audit Unit supports and protects the Department’s expenditure by providing objective assessment, assurance, advice, and insight regarding corporate performance, governance, risk management, and internal control, including through evaluation.
