My Department administers the Reconciliation and Anti-Sectarianism funds which assists individuals and organisations involved in reconciliation work and to encourage and facilitate better relations within and between the traditions in the North, between North and South, and between Ireland and Britain.

My Department has not received any application for funding from the Justice for the Forgotten group for the most recent funding rounds, nor have they made any recent approaches or contacts to the Funds. The closing date for the next round of funding is 28 September 2012 and Justice for the Forgotten are welcome to contact the relevant section of my Department for advice on how to apply and to submit an application for funding. Any such an application would be considered on the same basis as any other.
