1st Irish Gathering in Spain

Roger goes to Madrid.

19 and 20 September.


Over the past 5 years more Irish people have emigrated to Continental Europe than to the UK and America combined. And at an incredible 90,000 Irish citizens, Spain has more Irish residents than any other European country.

A focal point will be a Panel discussion on

"In Spain, Keeping in touch with Ireland"

featuring Irish and Spanish panelists from all walks of life, from Business to Tourism, Academic to Irish Culture and Sport in Spain. This will be chaired by Roger Cummiskey.

Details of the Irish Gathering in Spain and the Special Flights Prize, are on EuropeanIrish.com the number 1 website for the Irish in Spain and those interested in Irish activities in Spain.
