InSpain (Irish Network Spain):
your date with Ireland in the heart of Spain.

<http://europeanirish.com/wiki/index.php>
<http://europeanirish.com/wiki/index.php> [phpwiki]
<http://europeanirish.com/wiki/index.php> Wouldn't it be great to meet many
other Irish people in Spain? Imagine an Irish meet-up for Irish people living in
Spain - to share their ideas, thoughts and to get to know one another.

Add to it, all Spanish people interested in Irish Activites and Ireland.

Well That's what this is. On the weekend of the All-Ireland Gaelic Football
Final - 18th to 20th September, Madrid will host this first social meeting of
Irish people in Spain.

As you may know, one of the aims of EuropeanIrish, is to establish links between
the Irish/Ireland-lovers and the Irish events related to each country in
Continental Europe. And this requires a deep study of the relevant social groups
in each area. Not so long ago, the EuropeanIrish team in Spain started
developing a new venture called ‘InSpain’ (Irish Network Spain), a platform
hosted by EuropeanIrish that gathers and provides coverage of all the news
related to Ireland and the Irish in Spain.

Como sabéis, uno de los objetivos de EuropeanIrish es establecer vínculos
entre los irlandeses/amantes de su cultura, y todos los actos relacionados con
este país en Europa Continental. Esto requiere una labor intensa de
investigación sobre los grupos sociales relevantes en cada zona.Hace poco que
comenzamos a desarrollar un proyecto que denominamos “InSpain” (Irish
Network Spain), una plataforma que, dentro de EuropeanIrish, dará cobertura
informativa a todas las noticias que tengan que ver con Irlanda y los irlandeses
en España. <http://www.europeanirish.com/news_spanish.php?news_id=1994>

GAA:
European Hurling & Camogie Championships – Zürich Round

GAA: Switzerland wouldn’t normally spring to mind when thinking about
Ireland’s greatest game, but the financial capital of Zürich will reverberate
to the clash of the ash on July 11th, as the penultimate round of hurling’s
European championship takes place that weekend. Belgium GAA are poised to lift
the trophy for the first time in the competition’s history, but hoping to
throw a spanner in the works will be last year’s winners Luxembourg, and the
hosts Zürich.

Zürich will also host their first ever camogie match as the final round of the
European championship, with a team made up almost exclusively of non-Irish
players. Luxembourg are current leaders of the camogie championship, after wins
in Belgium and Luxembourg, but a win for Zürich should see them claim their
first ever title.
