Hi Conor,
Irish chapter would be a fantastic move and please let us know if there's anything we
could do to support you in this - including any practical or financial help you might need
to get started.
Just to let you know I was on a Dublin radio show last year talking about Wikipedia (WM-UK
were the closest contact listed) - they seemed to have a very positive impression of
Wikipedia.
We have talked about setting up a branch in Northern Ireland if/when we get a significant
number of members there and would be great to cooperate on things. There are plenty of
North-South funds available, particularly for language support and would be fantastic to
put in for these to support Irish language Wikimedia projects.
Please get in touch if you need anything and good luck!

Subject: [Wikimedia IE] Ready To Go?
Hi All,
I am interested in getting the Irish chapter up and running. I have a particular interest
in releasing more music into the commons. I would like to apply for funding to provide
educational workshops and demonstrations. Have we got enough people who are interested
enough to get going?
Kind Regards,
Conor Wao.
