Who and What is ESP?

November 18, 2023 from 2pm-3:30pm
Irish Cultural Center and McClelland Library Norton Conference Room

In this seminar we will share about the Emigrant Support Program (ESP) resources available to the Arizona Irish community with a focus on Irish Passports and Returning to Ireland. Poor quality photos are one of the main reasons applications are rejected by the Irish Passport Services. Someone will be at the center to take professional quality photographs. The Irish Government has two programs designed to support the diaspora who wish to return to Ireland.

The event is free to members and non-members, registration is requested and walk-ins are welcome.
