Political Vetting and Community Work
refdoc May=1991

Belfast: Northern Ireland Council for Voluntary Action, 54pp. This report
investigates the practice of governments refusing to grant aid
groups/organisations deemed of having "sufficiently close links with
paramilitary organisations to give rise to a grave risk that to give support to
those groups would have the effect of improving the standing or furthering the
aims of a paramilitary organisation" (Douglas Hurd 1985). The latest victim is
the Irish language nursery providing group, Glor na nGael. For summary see Scope
Oct. 1990, pp.14-16.

Our work is only possible with your support.
