The Irish Aid Centre in Clonmel Street, Dublin provides workshops for Junior Cycle, Transition Year and Senior Cycle pupils on global issues such as the Sustainable Development Goals, food and hunger, and the role of international development.

While the premises are temporarily closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Centre’s facilitators have been providing on-line, virtual workshops and have pre-recorded material for use in the classroom.

The 2021 budget for the Irish Aid Centre is €267,594. This covers running costs, materials, advertising and IT. The Centre is run on behalf of the Department of Foreign Affairs by SUAS Educational Development, an NGO focused on educational disadvantage.
