International Fund for Ireland

Mr. Hayes
To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland which projects have been funded in Northern Ireland by the International Fund for Ireland in the last 12 months.

Mr. Hanson
The International Fund for Ireland is administered by an independent board appointed jointly by the British and Irish Governments and all matters pertaining to the projects supported by the fund are a matter for that board. I will forward the request to the chairman of the International Fund for Ireland and ask him to respond directly and I will place a copy of the reply in the House of Commons Library.

The fund’s annual reports list the projects funded. The 2006 report has been published and a copy has been placed in the House of Commons Library.
