A NEW network connecting Irish women in Wales will be formally launched next month. Líonra Na mBan Éireannach, or the Irish Women’s Network Wales, will officially launch on February 11 at an event celebrating St Brigid’s Day at the Consulate General of Ireland in Cardiff. “The Consulate proposed the idea of a Women’s Network at the 2025 SBD event which generated a great response,” a spokesperson for the Consulate explained. “Since then, the Consulate has facilitated meetings of a group of interested Irish community women in creating a network to connect, support and highlight Irish women in Wales,” they added. “It will also be an opportunity to network with other Irish women in Cymru and learn more about how to get involved in this exciting new Irish community organisation,” the organisers explain.
