Céad Míle Fáilte | Welcome to Ireland Network Minnesota!
Ireland Network Minnesota is a 501(c)(6) not-for-profit organization that serves as a social, cultural, and professional hub, connecting the Irish community and friends of Ireland in Minnesota and beyond.
Founded in 2024 by Ruairi Barnwell, the Minnesota chapter builds on his extensive experience in Chicago, where he co-founded the Ireland Network Chicago in 2003. Ruairi served on its Executive Committee for many years and was President from 2022 to 2024. Now based in Minnesota, he aims to replicate the same successful model, fostering cultural, social, and professional networking opportunities for the Irish diaspora and their allies.
Whether you have Irish roots, hail from the Island, or simply wish to connect with Irish professionals in Minnesota, we invite you to join our growing community.
Sláinte!
Ireland Networks across the US play important roles in providing Irish communities with excellent opportunities to develop strong social, cultural, and business connections. We look forward to working with Ireland Network Minnesota to support Minnesota’s Irish community and friends of Ireland across the State.
