Spending Review 2022 Key Findings cont. Increase in FSS spend mainly driven by S56 FSS funding stream (Figure 2) This was mainly driven by the transfer of ABC programme expenditure from DCEDIY to Tusla in late 2018. Additional (once-off) COVID 19 funding provided to C&V sector organisations also contributed to the increase. The proportion of overall Tusla expenditure allocated to FSS remained relatively consistent between 2018 and 2021, rising from 13.9% to 14.2% 11.3% CCA expenditure 16.3% 42.7% Regional SLA National grants ABC 29.7% 4 Rialtas na h ireann | Government of Ireland Figure 1
