Context

The Irish Refugee Council [IRC] works with and for refugees in Ireland. The IRC believes, in accordance with the 1951 Convention relating to the status of refugees, that every person has the right to claim asylum and to have their application considered in a fair and transparent manner. IRC works with other organisations, activists and individuals to create a just, fair and inclusive society for people seeking asylum. The IRC has its origins in a conference which took place in Dublin in 1988 entitled Refugees in Crisis. In 1992 the IRC was formally registered as a limited company and subsequently obtained charitable status.

In 1999, The Atlantic Philanthropies awarded €277,000 to the Irish Refugee Council [IRC]. The grant titled Chief Executive Support was given to assist the IRC to re-organise itself by offering funding towards a chief executive and related support costs on a diminishing basis over three years.
