Mission & Goals
European Movement Ireland is an independent, not-for-profit, membership-based organisation working to develop the connection between Ireland and Europe. Founded in 1954, European Movement Ireland is the oldest Irish organisation dealing with the EU, pre-dating Ireland’s membership of the Union in 1973 by almost twenty years. Our aims are to provide an independent, reasoned, non-governmental voice on European issues; to increase awareness and understanding of European issues among all sectors of Irish people; to disseminate factual information about Europe in language that is clear and understandable; to encourage Irish engagement at European level; and to act as a conduit between Ireland and Europe, representing and articulating Irish opinions to our EU counterparts.
