About We Are Global Irish

Connecting Culture with Commerce.

We Are Global Irish was created to foster economic growth and opportunities for the Irish on the island of Ireland, the Irish abroad and those who identify with Irish heritage. The idea and model  was built  around   our founder’s propitiatory software platform  in the hospitability sector, creation and  mentoring  of Irish diaspora networks  and  participation at the Economic Forums.  Finally, in 2022 research projects  began in  earnest and the outcomes rang loud and clear, a solution was needed to bring together the Irish wherever they may be to foster opportunities . 

A single root with global reach.

Irish people and culture have spread across the world. Irish families put down roots in every corner of the globe. They made friends, had families, and  passed their Irish culture on to their children, and their children’s children. Lives were lost to the famine and, to severe hardship when they landed on foreign shores. Despite the hardships, they persevered, worked hard, started businesses, and left their mark wherever they settled. At We Are Global Irish, we help foster relationships to benefit those roots. Join the We Are Global Irish Community showcase and celebrate what makes your business uniquely Irish.

We Are Global Irish was created as a unique centralised network to foster opportunities  to and from the Island of  Ireland, among  the Irish abroad  and those who identify with Irish heritage over the generations. We connect with and help brand Irish and  Diaspora products, services, sports, cultural and tourism organisations across the globe.
