On 14 March 2003 the President joined us for a very
special dinner at one of the most stunning locations
in the world, Guillaume at Bennelong Restaurant at
the Sydney Opera House.
The Dinner was attended by Directors, Governors and
major supporters of The Fund.
The President told guests of her first hand experience
of the invaluable work undertaken by the Ireland Funds,
that "she has watched it transform individuals
and communities, giving confidence where there was
once despair, bringing reconciliation where there
was only bitterness, creating a future to look forward
to where there was once only a grim past that kept
on repeating itself relentlessly."
The President thanked our supporters in a most heartfelt
way and encouraged us to continue with our vital contribution
to the cause of peace in Ireland.
