Irish Cultural Forum Talk on Brexit and Ireland
2022-03-26 14:00 - 16:00 | Gaelic League Irish American Club, 2068 Michigan Ave, Detroit, 48216, United States
On October 12, 2017 Dr. Aidan Beatty, a native of Ireland, spoke at the Detroit Gaelic League about the potential effects on the Irish Republic of England’s then-proposed withdrawal from the European Union, i.e. Brexit.. On January 31, 2020 that event became reality and includes England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland. The Northern Ireland Protocol of the Brexit withdrawal agreement commits the UK and the EU to maintaining an open border in Ireland so that the de facto frontier is the Irish Sea between the two islands.
It’s now 2022. How’s it going? What are the economic and social impacts? Are the borders truly “open”. How has Covid affected the situation? Aidan Beatty will return to the Gaelic League at 2:00 PM on March 26, 2022 to provide his perspective on the situation. Participants can attend in-person or on-line via Zoom. For more information regarding Zoom or purchasing tickets, please contact Jim Johnson at jbjohnson68@sbcglobal.net) . Donations of $5 per person would be appreciated.

1916 Easter Rising – Gaelic League Brunch
Saturday, April 16th, 2022 12:30-3:30pm
We welcome you to join us at the Gaelic League of Detroit for another brunch, this time in commemoration of the 1916 Easter Rising in Dublin, Ireland. While this was likely the most important event in the kick-start of Ireland’s fight for independence from British rule, many lives were tragically lost, yet their stories were not forgotten.
If this is your first time to our brunches, WELCOME! Think of it as a cultural experience, rather than just a brunch. In the past, we have learned about Irish language lessons, International Women’s Day, The Origins of Halloween, and then some… Always complete with an All-you-can-eat brunch, drink specials, 50/50 raffle and a solid bar of baked goodies, this is always sure to be a fun time out!
Gluten-Free and Vegan options always available ☺
$20.00 Entry

CALLING ALL FOODIES AND IRISH LANGUAGE LOVERS
We need to find a way of talking about the Irish language – about the sublime beauty and profound oddness of this ancient tongue that has been spoken on the island for

Mrs. Kelly’s Journey Home is the story of a woman’s journey from Ireland to America and her struggle with dementia in her later years. This show brings to the stage the experiences that are often unspoken of so many generations of immigrants and adults caring for their aged parents.
This one-woman show is filled with laughs, tears and lots of tea. Mrs. Kelly’s Journey Home is a moving, joyous exploration of love, roots and family with Breeda Miller employing heart and humor to bring multiple characters to vivid life.
Mrs. Kelly’s Journey Home premiered at the Arthur Miller Theatre in Ann Arbor on October 22, 2021, with three performances that weekend. Audiences laughed, shed a few tears and most importantly stated that the performance and the script was one of the best they had ever seen. Standing ovations after each performance affirmed the impact of this play.
