    Consistent with section 5(c) of the Anglo-Irish Agreement Support

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 for Ireland (a) will be distributed to individuals
