Tánaiste To Speak At '2011 Ireland Funds Conference'
Tánaiste and Foreign Affairs Minister Eamon Gilmore will address the plenary meeting of the '2011 Ireland Funds Conference' in Dromoland Castle today.
The Ireland Funds are a major source of assistance to Irish based projects promoting peace, culture, education and charity. The meeting will bring together representatives of the Fund from over 12 countries. Many of its members are also supporting Ireland through their contribution to the Global Irish Network. The Government has announced that a second Global Irish Forum will take place in Dublin Castle on 7-8 October 2011.
Speaking to the Conference, the Tánaiste said: “Since the establishment of the Funds, you have seen and contributed to momentous change in Ireland. You were there at the beginning, when many thought the challenges posed by the troubles were insurmountable. Your work gave hope to divided communities across Northern Ireland. You were there to welcome and support the new Northern Ireland Executive when it brought its investment message to the US.”
“The Ireland Funds have worked over many years, with successive Governments, building successful strategic partnerships within the wider global Irish family.”
