Irish Association
Irish ringers were invited to a meeting held in St Patrick's School, St Patrick's Close, Dublin on 22nd May 1998 with a view to forming an 'Irish Association of Change Ringers which shall have for its objective the unity of all ringers for the promotion and study of Scientific Change Ringing'. Prior to that date there had been limited inter-tower co-operation in Ireland. Further background can be found in the Ringing World (22nd May 1998, page 497).
