The Irish Diaspora is made up of over 70 million people around the globe. As part of Ireland’s commitment to this Global Irish community, Minister of State for the Diaspora and International Development, Ciarán Cannon TD, is undertaking a public consultation process to inform Ireland’s new Diaspora Policy.

Following our attendance at the Dublin and Canberra based consultations, we have made a written submission to the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade for consideration. Our submission addresses key areas identified in the Review of the Diaspora Policy – including accessible, targeted and strategic support to connect, engage, recognise, and facilitate our Global Irish communities abroad.
