Amharc ar fhreagraWorldirish.com is a private sector online initiative led by John McColgan aimed at building closer links between the Irish at home and abroad. The idea emerged as a consequence of the first Global Irish Economic Forum in 2009 and was launched during the second Forum at Dublin Castle last October. I received a presentation on the new website during a meeting with Mr McColgan and members of the worldirish.com team on 16 September 2011. Officials from my Department remain in contact with the project team.
