Minister Ahern said the organisations supported make an outstanding contribution
to the promotion of tolerance, mutual respect and reconciliation on this island.

 

 

 

The Reconciliation Fund was established in the Department of Foreign Affairs in 
1982 and provides assistance to organisations involved in reconciliation work to
create a better understanding between people on the island of Ireland and between
Ireland and Britain. Since 1999, the Department of Foreign Affairs has awarded grants
of approximately €18.63 million to over 544 groups involved in a wide range of cross-
community and cross-border reconciliation activities.

 

 

 

The range of grants in the first allocation run from €5,000 to €50,000.
