Ireland fund approves €43m of projects in 2003

The International Fund for Ireland approved grants of €43m to 250 projects on both sides of the border last year, according to the organisation’s annual report for 2003.

The report said the money was spent on development and reconciliation projects in around the border.

The International Fund for Ireland was established by the Irish and British governments in 1986 to promote economic development and reconciliation between unionists and nationalists.
