Some 200,000 Polish citizens live and work in Ireland. This had led to the strengthening of economic and cultural ties between Ireland and Poland.

It will organise an Irish-Polish cultural fusion evening in September and it will launch the inaugural annual Sean Lester Irish-Polish Memorial Lecture at a date to be announced.
