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!
Follow @irelandI'm a "student-turned-salesperson-reverted-student", if that makes sense. I'm in my final year of Irish & Business in DCU, but my true passion lies in the media. Other passions are in cider, musicals and baking. I've tasted the corporate world, and found it to be quite like Marmite. If I'm not perfecting Lady Gaga's new dance routine, I can be found on my shed roof re-reading "The Help". If not there, check on the 133 bus between Wicklow Town and Dublin. Oh, and I hate Marmite.
