The BeginningsThe ICA was founded in May 1910 by a small group of well educated and largely Protestant women in Bree, Co Wexford. Called the Society of the United Irishwomen (UI).
It's aim was “to improve the standard of life in rural Ireland through Education and Co-operative effort”.
From the start the UI was non-denominational and non-party political, principles which continue to this day and our members are drawn from every background and shade of opinion.An GrianánCentre for Lifelong LearningAt An Grianan, Co Louth, the ICA Adult Education College provides members and the general public with a varied programme of courses and events, as well as facilities for meetings and Conferences.
