Together, we are stronger

‘Together, we are stronger’ celebrates the migrants who come to Ireland to seek safety, security and a happy future for themselves and their families. Together, they make Ireland a better place.

This video was inspired by the Department of Foreign Affairs video for St Patrick’s Day celebrating Ireland’s diaspora around the world. 

The featured song 'Danny Boy' was performed by Toshín, Jess Kav and Róisín El Cherif and was recorded by Will Farrell at Blast Audio, Dublin.

The video was shot at Russborough House and Park, Blessington, Co. Wicklow.

With sincere thanks to all those who shared their stories with us and to creative agency Thinkhouse for working with us on this project.

Also, we want to thank St. Stephens Green Trust and the Energy for Generations Fund who supported the making of this video.
