Irish community in France

Ireland is lucky to have a diaspora who makes a meaningful contribution to our country, whether they're building economic development, raising awareness of our culture or creating a positive image of Ireland here in France

Emigrant Support Programme

We provide grants to Irish organisations which foster a more vibrant sense of community and Irish identity and we encourage closer links between Irish communities abroad and Ireland.

Presidential Award

The Presidential Distinguished Service Award for the Irish Abroad recognises sustained, distinguished service to Ireland, its communities abroad or its international reputation by those living abroad.

Irish Culture

Promoting Irish culture is an important part of the Embassy's work. We work with key organisations to enhance the opportunities to enjoy Irish culture, including music, poetry theatre and craft.

St. Patrick's Day

Saint Patrick’s Day is a global celebration of what it means to be Irish and the Embassy uses the opportunity every March to celebrate with Irish communities and to showcase Ireland.
