The group was formed in 1991 by a group of first and second generation Irish people in Nottingham. We reflect the whole spectrum of the local Irish Diaspora, first and second generation, Catholic, Protestant and dissenter and those with strong political views or none at all. We run courses in Irish politics, literature, language, drama and film.
We have also organised three very successful conferences in the last few years: Changing Ireland (2003); Changing Ireland 2 (2004) and Insiders/Outsiders (2005). Members of the Group have helped to develop Irish language, reading and drama groups (see website at www.nottinghamisg.org.uk for more details), and we run storytelling and literature sessions as part of Patrick’s Day celebrations.
