What does it mean to call Ireland 'home'?

This is what I'm trying to find out - still looking for suitable participants!

Please get in touch if you or someone you know might be interested in sharing their story.

Still recruiting!

Born in Ireland?
Parents who migrated here?
Grew up in Limerick or the Mid-West?

I'm doing a research project on second-generation identity and would love to chat with you.

Please share with anyone who might be interested - it would mean a lot 🙏
