The Tip O’ Neill International Summer School Mallow in County Cork,

Ireland at a weekend date in September 2021.

To whom it may concern,

We are pleased to inform you, to mark 4th July – Independence Day, the Irish in Europe Association (International) aisbl (IEAI) have issued a policy document to establish the Tip O’ Neill International Summer School – Mallow. 

Please see the Policy Document Below:

Policy-Document-to-establish-The-Tip-O’-Neill-International-Summer-School-MallowCo.-Cork.-Ireland-4th-July-2020-1

The main aim of the Summer School will be “Strengthening the Irish Bridge between the United States of America & Europe.

The policy document details the aims, philosophy and roadmap set out for the Tip O’ Neill International Summer School Mallow for your perusal.

This School will not be one weekend end event, it will be an ongoing process to grow relations between Mallow & North Cork with Rathmullan/Buncrana & Inishowen in Donegal, relations between Cork, Derry, Boston and  Leuven in Belgium and also relations between the Capitals; Washington, Dublin and  Brussels and later extending to other areas in the USA and Europe.  It will a join-up our Irish in Europe Networks with the Irish American and other Diaspora networks in the USA.  We would have preferred to have all the above-mentioned Stakeholders present at an inaugural Memorial Address/ Lecture & press conference to launch policy document to establish Summer School launch. This was unable to take place due to logistics to comply Public Health Regulations.

It will build on the work over the past thirty years of the Tip O’ Neill Committees in Mallow and Donegal, on the work done by Mallow Heritage Committee of the Mallow Partnership, the former Mallow Urban District Council, Kanturk Mallow Municipal District,  Cork County and City Councils, Universities, Libraries, the O’ Neill Family and many other individuals. It will also complement the work of the different groups in the USA that commemorate the life and work of Tip O’ Neill.

It will start small; it has been well thought out and it will help Ireland to be an important bridge between the USA and the EU. The Summer School are planning to have the conference weekend between July 2021 and September 2021. This gives them enough time to plan and muster the necessary support. The launch of the Summer School has been welcome in many quarters as a very exciting-and timely-initiative.We know it is going to be a big challenge, but we all must step up to the plate to help with the recovery in Ireland and bring more people from all walks of life together to help strengthen relations between USA and Europe.

The first President of Tip O’Neill International Summer School-Mallow Committee is Michael O’ Neill and a relative Tip O’ Neil.

The Irish in Europe Association will act as promoters and the European Partners for the Summer School.

Persons of all nationalities are most welcome to join the different Summer School support groups in Ireland, USA and Europe  as they are established by contacting Michael O’ Neill at

Brussels Saint Patrick’s Day Parade Fund Appeal

Brussels Saint Patrick’s Day Parade Fund Appeal

The Parade needs your Support

Dear Friends,

The 2022 – 14th Brussels Saint Patrick’s Day Parade for Peace and of the Nations & Regions is taking place in the historic City centre for the fifth time and we need your help to make it a quality event that’s enjoyable for everyone. To show solidarity with the People of the Ukraine
Everyone is invited to wear the ‘Green’ and ” Yellow & Blue’ and be Irish & Ukrainian for the day! The Ukrainian National Anthem will be played at the Review Stand at the town hall in the Grand Place. Please let any Ukrainians you know!
We are starting at Les Halles Saint Géry on Sunday 19 March (Saint Patrick´s Day Parade at 2.30pm, pass the Bourse, pass Galerie Anspach and the Saint Hubert Royal Galleries, and returning to Les Halles Saint Géry.

We’ll also be stopping in Grand Place where Members of the City of Brussels Council, VIPS will review the parade from circa 4.00pm to 4.30pm from the Balcony of the two stairs at the City Hall. We believe we have the review stand from the oldest building in the world. There’ll be music recitals to set the atmosphere.

The approval for this parade route is recognition of the hard work done in organising the nine parades in Park Cinquantenaire from 2009 and previous four in the City centre. With this greatly increased visibility, we’re under pressure to put on a  recovery. Not only are we in Belgium’s most prime location but there’s also much more media interest.

The entire organisation is organised on a volunteer basis, but such an event has administrative and material costs. Each year we rely on donations, and we hope that the same people won’t have to pay the costs each year. We need “a little help from our Irish, Belgian and international friends”. A small donation is all that it takes.

We want the day to be fun for all the participants and spectators, we want to put on an event that we’ll be proud to have shown on TV around the world to showcase the EU Capital, and we want it to run smoothly so we can repeat it and even expand it next year. That’s what we’re asking you to contribute to.

In addition to funding the Parade the Irish in Europe Association (International) aisbl depends on donations to continue to organise its various activities. With the help of many of its volunteers, the IEAI has organised and or supported over 500 events since 2011. (Concerts, Exhibitions, Lectures, Social, Irish related events and the Irish in Europe Cultural Exchange Programme between Belgium and Ireland).

The Parade is at 14.30 on Sunday, 19th of March 2022. Participation is free and it makes a lovely afternoon family outing. Individuals and Cultural groups from all nationalities welcome to walk in Parade. There is no participation fee. ´´Wear the Green and Yellow & Blue and be Irish  and  Ukrainian on the Day´´

If you wish to help the Parade in any way, please contact the Irish in Europe Association at info@irishineurope.org
