Irish communities
Irish communities are groups of people in Ireland or with Irish heritage, often sharing common culture, language, traditions, and history. These communities can be local, fostering social bonds through events, festivals, and communal activities, or diaspora-based, connected by shared identity regardless of geographic location. They emphasize community support, storytelling, music, and Gaelic customs, helping preserve Irish culture across generations. Irish communities may also organize around religious practices, sports like Gaelic football, or historical remembrance, reinforcing a sense of belonging and cultural continuity both within Ireland and globally.
