The EIB agreed to back a 260 million EUR solar portfolio across Ireland.

Omissions

• The €260 million figure represents the total investment value, not the EIB's direct contribution. The EIB provided a €100 million project finance loan to Dolmen Solar Ltd, with the remaining €160 million coming from other sources.
• The announcement was made on March 18, 2026 (as reported by RTE), not in April 2026 when the MEP claimed it occurred 'this month'.
• The four solar projects total 395MW capacity across Clare, Tipperary, Wicklow and Wexford.
