    The Ireland Reaching Out project team invites you to the first parish meeting of 2011. The project steps up a gear this week with the launch of the website www.irelandxo.com. Comprehensive details of the planned IRO training programme for the parishes of south east Galway will also be presented as well as progress updates from selected parishes and the latest on the Week of Welcomes. The event will be attended by a number of the programme’s sponsors including representatives from the Department of Foreign Affairs.

    All are welcome and new participants are particularly encouraged to attend. This is an ideal opportunity to introduce new parish team members to the project as well as meet other parish welcome team volunteers from communities across South-East Galway.

  • Ireland Reaching Out – are you from East Galway? Why not contact Ireland Reaching out?

    Hello all,

    First of all, I ‘d like to wish you all a very happy Christmas and  Merry New Year!
    Maybe 2011 will be the year you’ll come to visit Ireland!

    I posted my Christmas cards in my local post office in Ardrahan, Co. Galway and I picked up a little leaflet about a project called Ireland Reaching  out Programme, which is a programme or the economic and cultural development of the Irish people.

    Ireland Reaching out is an Irish government sponsored pilot project which will enable the parishes for South-East Galway in ” reaching out”, and engaging with those who have emigrated from the area, and their living descendants. The project aims to invite those connected with the parish to become involve in an enlarged “virtual” community. Those identified will be invited back to their local parish for a Week of Welcomes in June 2011. 
     If you are interested to learn more, please get in contact via info@irelandxo.com or ring +353 90 9741308

    Warm Regards,
    Katleen
