The 'Council' was established following a summit meeting between Margaret Thatcher, the then British Prime Minister, and Garret Fitzgerald, the then Taoiseach (Irish Prime Minister) on 6 November 1981. The AIIC is a name given to the series of meetings between the British and Irish Governments from that date. The 'Council' is interested in "matters of general concern to the United Kingdom and Ireland such as trade and cultural relations" (Hadden and Boyle, 1989).
