    Pursuant to section 5(c) of the Anglo-Irish Agreement Support Act of 
1986 (Public Law 99-415), as amended in section 2811 of the Omnibus

contained in Public Law 105-277), I hereby certify that I am satisfied 
that: (1) the Board of the International Fund for Ireland, as a whole, 
is broadly representative of the interests of the communities in Ireland 
and Northern Ireland; and (2) disbursements from the International Fund 
(a) will be distributed to individuals and entities whose practices are 
consistent with principles of economic justice; and (b) will address the 
needs of both communities in Northern Ireland and will create employment

from high rates of unemployment.
    You are authorized and directed to transmit this determination, 
together with the attached statement setting forth a detailed 
explanation of the basis for this certification, to the Congress.
