Paul Caskey
Chief Executive, Integrated Education Fund
“The support of The Ireland Funds is so much more than just financial. As important as that may be, it is a worldwide network of people who care about the island of Ireland. I have always found The Ireland Funds to be an organisation that listens and cares about Northern Ireland. It’s not about taking sides, it’s about finding solutions to problems.”
Learning Hub Limerick
“There are programs that we’re running that would not be running if it weren’t for the support of The Ireland Funds. There are children in those programs who would not be getting support and education if it weren’t for The Ireland Funds.”
