40 Years of Polish House in Dublin – A Shared History, Culture and Heritage
In 2026, Polish House in Dublin celebrates the 40th anniversary of its establishment. This milestone offers a special opportunity to reflect on the history of a place that, for four decades, has served the Polish community, preserved Polish culture and traditions, and fostered connections between Polish and Irish people.
Polish House is home to two organisations: the Irish Polish Society (IPS) and the Polish Social and Cultural Association (POSK Dublin). Each organisation pursues its own aims and initiatives, while together they create a welcoming space for social gatherings, cultural events and community engagement.
The 40th anniversary was celebrated at a special event held alongside the commemoration of Poland’s National Independence Day. The occasion brought together members of the Polish and Irish communities, invited guests, and representatives of organisations and institutions involved in Polish community life in Dublin. The artistic programme and celebrations provided an opportunity to honour both the history of Polish House and the bonds that connect the two communities.
We would like to thank all our guests, organisers, performers, partners and friends for attending the celebration and contributing to its success.
Forty years represent more than just history. They represent the people, their dedication and their shared efforts, which have helped make Polish House an important part of the Polish community in Dublin.
