Dear Visitor,
Welcome to the website of the Glencree Centre
for Peace and Reconciliation.
The Glencree Centre for Peace and Reconciliation is a
unique facility based in the Wicklow Hills, entirely devoted
to the building of peace and reconciliation across all divides.
Glencree welcomes all groups and individuals who share this
ideal.
Despite the historic and most welcome achievements
of the Good Friday Agreement in 1998, the daily task of building
peace for everyone involved in the conflict and those who have
suffered as a result is still with us. The work of bringing
divided peoples and communities together is more urgent than
ever if we are to achieve a long lasting peaceful, civil society
on the Island.
In order to develop and maintain the vital work
of the Glencree Centre significant support is needed from the
community, and in particular the Business Community so that
the wide range of centre programmes can reach as many people
as possible.
The future growth and development of the Centre
adds to the hopes we all share for a peaceful future. Please
help us realise some of the objectives, hopes and aspirations
of all those working for peace in Glencree. Together we can
play a part in building peace and investing in a better future.

Alfie Kane
Honorary President, Glencree Centre for Peace and Reconciliation |
