About Irish Rural Link
Irish Rural Link (IRL) is a national network of organisations and individuals campaigning for sustainable rural development in Ireland and Europe. It is, a non-profit organisation and directly represents over 600 community groups with a combined membership of 25,000. A member of the Community and Voluntary Pillar of Social Partnership, the network provides a structure through which rural groups and individuals, representing disadvantaged rural communities, can voice their common needs and priorities, share their experiences and present their case to policy-makers at local, national and European Level.
