Global Irish Civic Forum, Dublin 3-4 June 2015 - Registration Open

As set out in 'Global Irish - Ireland's Diaspora Policy' the first Global Irish Civic Forum will take place in Dublin Castle on 3-4 June 2015.

The Civic Forum will be an opportunity for organisations supporting the Irish diaspora abroad to come to Dublin to discuss their work with these communities. It is anticipated the Forum will discuss issues such as new Irish emigrants, Irish identity and heritage, reaching out to Irish citizens abroad and assisting emigrants to return to Ireland.

Attendance at the civic forum is open to all organisations working with Irish communities abroad. In many cases these organisations also receive funding under the Irish Government's Emigrant Support Programme. Registration is open until Wednesday 13 May on the Forum's website.
