Happy Halloween from all of us at Crosscare Irish Diaspora Support Project 🎃

Celebrated for over 2,000 years in Ireland by the ancient Celts as 'Samhain', it began as a harvest celebration marking the preparation for winter, or 'the dark half of the year!

Did you know that the transformation of Samhain to Halloween can be linked directly to Irish emigration to the United States in the 19th Century? Find out more at https://buff.ly/0iS3pzb

There’s a chill in the air, the evenings are getting darker, and Samhain is approaching. But while the seasons may be changing, the work continues!

Yesterday we had the the opportunity to address the Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade as part of its discussions on diaspora engagement.

The Committee heard that how our team is increasingly supporting people returning in complex circumstances, including those experiencing homelessness, financial hardship, deportation, and the aftermath of fleeing conflict. These experiences underline the importance of ensuring that diaspora engagement extends beyond maintaining connections overseas and includes practical support for those who wish, or need, to return.

We spoke of the need for greater cross-government coordination when developing policies that affect returning emigrants and their families. Decisions relating to housing, social welfare and immigration can have significant consequences for Irish citizens seeking to re-establish their lives in Ireland after time abroad.

Diaspora support is at the heart of what we do.

Every year we assist hundreds of Irish citizens and their families, providing pre-departure information, connecting people leaving Ireland to supports abroad, and guiding returning Irish emigrants through their resettlement in Ireland – all with a particular focus on supporting people who are marginalised and in crisis situations.

In 2025, we provided direct support across 56 countries to 1,580 Irish citizens and their family members, working in collaboration with 107 partner organisations.
