The formal report of the Forum which includes full details of the outcomes of the working groups that took place during the event was published on 24 November, 2011 and can be viewed on the Forum's website - www.globalirishforum.ie. The Forum was a very positive and successful event that has contributed in a significant way to our economic recovery, to further enhancing our strategic relationship with leading members of our Diaspora and to projecting a positive image of Ireland abroad.

Having reviewed the outcomes of the Forum, the Government has endorsed 12 initiatives identified in the Report which will be prioritised for action between now and March 2012. The Taoiseach undertook to provide Forum participants with an update on progress on these initiatives by St Patrick's Day 2012. Updates will also be published on the website.
