About IrishNet

OUR MISSION...
...is to use the internet to bridge the gap between Irish people and Irish-related organizations abroad, which so often a hard time finding each other. Not only will this allow people find useful resources and have fun together, it will also strengthen Irish clubs, organizations and businesses and help build Irish community around the world. This service is also open to those of Irish descent and anyone with an interest in matters Irish.

OUR DIRECTORY
Our first project is an internet directory of Irish resources in the USA. There are hundreds of Irish groups and businesses all over the country, but even locals don't know about many of them. Our directory can be searched by category, name and location, all entries are verified by phone or mail, and each entry is given the chance to describe themselves in their own words. This is a unique project - to the best of our knowledge, no such printed or online directory has ever been compiled before.

HOW YOU CAN HELP

• Tell everyone about us! We want IrishNet to be a resource for everyone, but it's hard to get the word out. Tell all your Irish friends, and consider posting up a few of our fliers.
• Especially tell people involved in Irish organizations and businesses; if they're not listed here, ask them to give us a call, and if they are, tell them you heard about them here! It's been a long, hard slog to collect all this information, and we really need your help to convince people that they can benefit from publicity on the internet. You can submit entries yourself with this form.
• If you have a web page, consider linking to IrishNet. You can even steal our mini-logo to add to our link, it's only a teensy 0.3 kb in size.
• Tell us what you think of the site, and how it could be improved. We can't guaratee to do everything, instantly, but we'll do our best! We aim to make this the internet resource for the Irish in America, and your suggestions are a key part of reaching that goal.

WHO WE ARE

IrishNet is founded and run by Gerard Manning and Patrick O'Farrell, two young Irish emigrants who got tired of never being able to find out all the Irish things happening around the place. We created IrishNet to help others in the same situation and to promote links between Irish people and communities, at home and abroad. We have an almost unmatched experience at serving Irish American interests on the net, since we also run the enormously popular Ceolas celtic music service, since 1993 (when the Web barely existed), which is now used by over 50,000 readers every month.
