Traditionally the linguistics of Irish English has not played a very important role in EFACIS, the European Federation of Associations and Centres of Irish Studies. One of the aims of the the Irish English Network (IrEN) at irish-english.net is to change this and have Irish English research recognised and supported by EFACIS. Since late 2021, we have been recognised as an EFACIS affiliated organisation. Also, we are increasingly involved in EFACIS projects – the roundtable is one such event. Further initiatives are planned. We would encourage everyone to join EFACIS. Your (free) membership of the Irish English Network entitles you to become an EFACIS member for a reduced annual fee of €15.
You can join the European Federation of Associations and Centres of Irish Studies (EFACIS)
