Black and Irish

We're marching at Dublin Pride, and we want you with us.
Black & Irish has 50 spaces for our community to march together on Saturday 27 June. Black, q***r, and proud, all in one block.
Every marcher gets a free t-shirt and wristband. All you have to do is sign up.
The form is in our bio. Once the 50 spaces are gone, they're gone, so don't sit on it.
See you on O'Connell Street. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

From Crumlin 🇮🇪 to the FIFA World Cup ⚽️

Best of luck to as he embarks on his World Cup journey with Cape Verde 🇨🇻 today. They will take on WC favourites Spain 🇪🇸 before going on to play Uruguay 🇺🇾 and Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦

Pico’s participation is a clear example of being proud of your Irish roots while being proud of any other heritage you may also have! He’s our Irish Cape Verdian and no one can take that from him or from us. Best of luck Pico, get stuck in to Yerman Yamal early!

We are deeply saddened by the tragic death of Qayyum Balogun, aged 21, following a fatal assault in Dublin city centre.

Our thoughts are with his family, friends and loved ones during this incredibly difficult time.

As a society, we must continue to speak out against the violence that has claimed too many lives in recent weeks. Violence has no place in our communities, and it is important to remember that serious crime is not exclusive to any one community or background.

Anyone with information is encouraged to contact Pearse Street Garda Station on (01) 666 9000 or the Garda Confidential Line on 1800 666 111.

May Qayyum rest in peace. 🕊️

A huge thank you to our partner our host all of our incredible contributors including keynote speaker and everyone who joined us for the second annual Conference.

The theme this year was “Shaping the future” and the conversations challenged us to think bigger, act bolder, and imagine a future that is more inclusive, innovative, and connected.

We held space to discuss discuss our ability to build and scale economic growth and focused on the net benefits of immigration.

Thank you to everyone who contributed their time, expertise, and energy. The future is something we build together. A special thanks to everyone at .ie and particularly Laura who made this conference possible.
