The Department of Finance visited Newry Chamber in November 2021 to discuss the draft budget and offered to return during the consultation phase in the Spring 2022.
The Department of Finance commented:
“Given the recent developments, the focus of the session might be slightly different and it would be an opportunity to provide an update on the mechanisms in place which will allow departments to continue spending to maintain public services.”
“The session would also be an opportunity to hear about the important work the Department of Finance is continuing to deliver in terms of grant support, rates etc.”
This event will also include a Q&A session.
