Meeting every Monday from 20:00 GMT on channel #Ireland-gen. Anyone researching in the Ireland is welcome to attend. This meeting is intended as a get together for people researching Irish ancestors, both from in Ireland and beyond. The idea has originated from the #IIGS-UKgen meetings, but Ireland is so special that we wanted it to have its own session !! The intention is to have more regular communication between people.. e.g. If you are having a discussion on Irish newsgroups then bring it with you and have an interactive chat about it. Bring your surnames and see if anyone else is researching in your area. Bring your books with you and see if you can help others. #ireland-gen is the newest member of the IIGS IRC service, check out the web site <<http://www.iigs.org/irc/index.htm> for more themed chat sessions.
