We mourn the passing of Sir Anthony "Tony" O'Reilly, Co-Founder of The Ireland Funds. When he helped establish The Ireland Funds with Dan Rooney in 1976 at the height of the Troubles in Northern Ireland, his insight and love for the island created an organization that today has gone on to support thousands of non-profit organizations. Countless lives have been improved and the extent of Tony's philanthropic reach may never be fully known. The greatest tribute we can offer is to continue the work he began almost fifty years ago. We thank Tony for his vision, his charismatic leadership, his service, and his commitment to our mission. His memory will live on in the legacy and impactful philanthropy of The Ireland Funds. Our thoughts and condolences are with the O'Reilly family now and in the days to come.

This World Autism Awareness Day, we are proud to provide vital supports to organizations across the island of Ireland that assist, empower, and celebrate people with disabilities, including those on the autism spectrum. Organizations like @AsIAmIreland and @SenKidsIreland are ensuring that people on the spectrum have the resources and services to thrive in everyday life and be their unique selves. #TheIrelandFundsIsThere #WAAD #autismawareness

@DogsforDisable1 What a beautiful photograph - pure joy! Kate and Nasha look like a true match. Best wishes for their road ahead together.

1/ A picture tells a thousand stories, this was taken the day Kate met Nasha for the first time back in September! What was funny about this day was Kate was provisionally matched to another dog but when s/he entered the room to meet Kate, the dog took a chew & faced the wall!

@EFMurphyIII Thank you for your leadership making it such a great success and a wonderful evening celebrating @RobertLReynolds @CharlieBakerMA and the many amazing organizations supported by @IrelandFundsAM
