The Irish Language Investment Fund, An Ciste Infheistíochta Gaeilge, was established by a grant-in-aid of £8 million from the Government in 2010 in connection to the Hillsborough Castle Talks.

On 25 May, the Government announced the provision of an additional £4 million in capital money to the Fund as part of the commitments on Northern Ireland’s unique circumstances that were agreed in New Decade, New Approach.
