The Institute of International & European Affairs (IIEA) was founded in 1991. It is a policy research think-tank and forum on EU affairs based in Dublin. It provides members with information on impending EU policy developments and in-depth analysis of their implications for Ireland and Europe. My Department is a corporate member, as are several Departments. The only financial supports given to the institute by my Department have been the annual membership subscriptions. These amounted to some €70,000, from 1998 to 2011.
