mosaic or melting pot living with diversity proceedings of a conference on cultural diversity dublin 2003
an increase in the number of immigrants into ireland in recent years is having a significant impact on a country that has hitherto been a source of emigration and has a relatively homogenous society culturally and ethnically . the change is taking place within the eu and affects and is affected by policy and developments within both ireland and the european entity . it coincides with other major cultural changes in irish society . the irish national committee of the european cultural foundation in association with the royal irish academy held a conference in dublin in february 2003 to discuss and draw attention to the issues of cultural diversity . the conference provided a forum in which policy makers and those active in the interest of immigrants could challenge each other . it also provided an opportunity for organisations working in related fields to make contact and continue with their work together in dialogue and research .
