The International Fund for Ireland has received another allocation of funding from
the US government. $10.4 million has been voted for the IFI, which supports a range
of projects throughout Ireland in the reconciliation field, by the Appropriations
Committee of the House of Representatives. 
IFI chairman Denis Rooney described 
the announcement as “extremely good news.”

“This recommendation is a real vote of confidence in the young people and communities
which benefit from the programmes of the International Fund,” Mr Rooney said.

 

 

The IFI recently changed its focus to support more reconciliation work and disadvantaged
communities. The IFI was set up in the mid-eighties after the Anglo Irish Agreement
and recently came in for criticism as wasteful by a US watchdog body.
