Baile as Baile – Home Away from Home

This initiative of the Irish Support Agency (formerly the Irish Welfare Bureau) was established to provide activities to counteract social isolation and loneliness over the Christmas/New Year period; a total of 65 events ranging from trivia nights, yoga, walks and cultural activities were held through December and January and were very well patronised.

GIFCC offered a tour of the Hyde Park Barracks Museum and the Irish Famine Memorial. This took place on January 17^th and was attended by members of the Irish community and friends of the GIFCC. Trish Power and Eva Moffat hosted the event. Afterwards, some of the group enjoyed a picnic lunch in the Domain.
