The Public Consultation for the new Reconciliation Fund Strategy is now open for submissions until 01 August 2025.

Ireland’s new Reconciliation Fund strategy, due to be published later this year, will refashion and renew the Fund’s vision and approach, guiding support for reconciliation within Northern Ireland and across these islands. A core aim of the new policy is to respond to the changing needs in the peace and reconciliation sector, as well as to reinforce the successful partnerships which have been forged in the past, since the Fund’s establishment in 1982.

Interested stakeholders are encouraged to submit their views on the development of a new Reconciliation Fund strategy. This will help inform how the Irish Government, through the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, can deepen and expand its efforts supporting peace and reconciliation in Northern Ireland and across these islands through the Reconciliation Fund.

The Government has opened this consultation to ensure that development of the new strategy is guided by the people most directly impacted. It is crucial that the strategy’s development is informed by all relevant stakeholders as part of the process.
