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. <http://www.europeanirish.com/news_details.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.
