About @Ireland

The @Ireland Twitter account rotates each week with a new voice introduced every Monday morning. As the Ireland of today is not confined to the island of Ireland, the varied voices of @Ireland come from Ireland and across the world.

Started in March 2012 and inspired by the @Sweden project, @Ireland is based around the idea that a single voice cannot represent a country. By sharing people's experiences and lives with the world, project custodians WorldIrish believe @Ireland can help to further connect Ireland to the world and the world to Ireland through the different voices that curate the account each week.

People can apply to be the voice of @Ireland for a week or can nominate a person they believe could represent Ireland. To apply or nominate someone email: [email protected]. If you are applying to curate @Ireland yourself please include the following in your email: your own Twitter account handle (username), your phone number and times/days that are convienient to contact you, a one-paragraph biog telling us about yourself and a 140-character description of why you would make a good @Ireland curator!

@DulachG Both Irish producers and unions have been slow to react to a changing world, we are not competitive even with the UK. #IrishFilm

10:35 9th Jul 2012 - Link

@DulachG Tax breaks kept Ireland ahead in the past, but now most countries have similar. We need more flexible working conditions #IrishFilm

10:34 9th Jul 2012 - Link

@unakavanagh Its all part of a changing environment and #IrishFilm must adapt to meet the challenge.

@PTHosford Local community groups are always reaching out for support, a little coverage goes a long way. :))

10:27 9th Jul 2012 - Link

With the UK about to introduce new tax breaks for high end TV production its going to become more competitive for #IrishFilm

10:26 9th Jul 2012 - Link

There are many reasons for that decline less big budget movies produced, focus more on High end TV series, and advancement in cameras

10:24 9th Jul 2012 - Link

I have been working in #irishFilm for over 20 years but recently there has be a decline in larger productions coming to Ireland.

10:13 9th Jul 2012 - Link

It looks like its practically impossible to find a dry spot in Ireland today.

@TheKavOfficial Agree on the Tallaght issue & Clondalkin was neglected for many years too. Recent planning decisions have improved Lucan.

09:09 9th Jul 2012 - Link

@PTHosford The Lucan Gazette is good but I believe they could do more to promote local events and community groups?

09:07 9th Jul 2012 - Link

@TheKavOfficial Building house in Mullingar for Dublin's population, is not the answer either we have to think of the environment.

09:04 9th Jul 2012 - Link

@TheKavOfficial In fairness Peter Lucan has grown, but there are plenty of green areas, schools issues have been addressed.

09:02 9th Jul 2012 - Link

@castiewalsh Not an expert on #GAA but I think #Galway hurling is of a much higher standard than the rest of Connaught, so play in Leinster

08:58 9th Jul 2012 - Link

What makes Lucan special to me is that village charm, less than 12km from Dublin city and find this on Main St. yfrog.com/oclyfobj

08:54 9th Jul 2012 - Link

I live in #Lucan, West Dublin a town with a population of 50K almost equal in size to Waterford City but still maintains a village charm.
