On behalf of the Management Board (M.B.) I welcome you to the website of the Hellenic Community of Ireland.

The Hellenic Community of Ireland is Dublin based and was founded in 1964. It is the official instrument of the Greeks in Ireland and as such it is recognised by the Greek, Cypriot and Irish governments. Our Community is relatively small in comparison to the larger communities of the Greek Diaspora, but it is very active considering its size and its resources.

Hellenes, the world over, carry a piece of their homeland inside them. The Hellenic Community of Ireland, whose M.B. works on a voluntary basis, endeavours to welcome the Greeks in Ireland, and to unlock from inside each one of us that very special piece of our homeland. If you wish to know in detail the general and specific aims of the Hellenic Community of Ireland, please consult the Community’s Memorandum of Association.

Finally, we would like to thank you for visiting our website. We also thank you in advance for your comments, questions and suggestions and please be assured that we will pay them appropriate consideration. Please allow us to remind you that we work voluntarily for the Community and thus we would like to ask for your understanding in the event we delay to reply to you.

Have a great browsing!

Dear members and friends of the Hellenic Community

The HC Management Board invites you to an open discussion on the topic of “The international economic crisis and developments in Greece”. The discussion will take place in the Greek School on Sunday 6 September at 1p.m. after the Divine Liturgy. The event is organised due to the visit to Ireland, for an international conference, of two noticeable analysts from Greece: Mr George Karampelias, writer and editor and Prof. Panayotis Papakyriazis, economist, Professor Emeritus at the Economic University of Athens and Professor Emeritus at the California Polytechnic State University.
Mr Karampelias and Prof. Papakyriazis would be delighted to participate in the discussion and to meet the members of our community, and also the community members to meet them.

With warm regards,

On behalf of the Management Board

We would kindly request that the parents whose kids will be participating in the celebration with a poem to email Ms Dora Lola -Luz (theodora.lolaluz@gmail.com) or the teacher Mr Vaios Manolis (manolisvaios@gmail.com) by Saturday the 14th of March to notify us if for any reason they will be unable to attend the celebration. We ask this so that the teacher can plan the programme of the celebration.

In addition, the teacher kindly asks, if you have any national costumes that the kids wear them on the day, otherwise if they could wear a jeans trouser/ skirt (blue) and a white shirt/blouse.

Thanking you in advance for your collaboration.
