lpv:translated text	"Mr President, the International Fund for Ireland has played a major role in peace and reconciliation in my country. Since it was established in 1986, the Fund has provided more than EUR 838 million to a wide range of projects both in Northern Ireland and in the border counties. It continues to support projects in the economically disadvantaged regions. Last week, it allocated EUR 9.8 million to support educational and community initiatives in Northern Ireland in the counties of Donegal, Monaghan and Sligo. However, there is a lot of uncertainty at the moment as to the future. The US House of Representatives recently included the Fund in part of an overall reduction to the US overseas budget. I would expect that our incoming Prime Minister, our Taoiseach, will raise the issue when he is in Washington to celebrate St Patrick’s Day. It has been said by the European Union, as by the governments of Ireland and Britain, that they are in favour of extending the programme of the Fund. And although the support that the United States provides to the Fund is vital, there is no reason for the European Union and the governments of Ireland and Britain not to continue providing financial resources to the Fund on a limited and targeted basis."@en1
