The proposed Diaspora Centre Clare will explore and celebrate Ireland’s connections with its Diaspora. It will be a world-class focal point for those who would like to explore, experience and connect with the heritage, culture and achievements that result from the movement of Irish people throughout the world – from earliest times to the present day. Visitors will be able to closely follow the journey and connectivity of the 70 million Irish Diaspora – from the land they left behind to the new world they reached.

This ‘Bid Report’ document explores the general approach to the centre including site analyses, schedule of accommodation, vision, initial interpretative themes and techniques, objectives and potential development strategy for an Irish International Diaspora. It also looks, at issues of economic sustainability of such a centre and makes suggestions how these can be successfully met through connectivity with existing tourism infrastructure.
