Our vision is of a vibrant, integrated global community comprising those living in the Home Place of Limerick and those based around the world who have a connection to it by birth, heritage or affinity.
Welcome to Global Limerick - Limerick City and County Council’s Diaspora Page
Our mission is to animate and mobilise the connection between Limerick and its Diaspora. Based on a joint compact, Limerick will support its Diaspora with their connection to the ‘Home Place’ and the Diaspora in turn will act as ambassadors and champions for Limerick in a wide range of areas – primarily business, culture, heritage, the arts, tourism, international education and sport.
If you were born in Limerick or if you are a descendant of previous emigrants from Limerick or have an affinity to Limerick, through education, work, sport or other interests, then you are part of the Limerick Diaspora!. Estimates suggest the Limerick Diaspora community may exceed 3.5M people worldwide.
