Ireland committee

Welcome to the Ireland committee

The Ireland committee is the eyes and ears of the institute in Ireland, providing a local point of contact for members.

In addition to the main committee and its activities, there are two sub-committees: the financial services sub-committee and student sub-committee.

Along with a programme of CPE events, networking sessions and an annual conference, the committee also organises financial services round tables and private sector round tables.

For details on any of these, you can speak to our Regional Coordinator, Mandy Coleman, whose contact details are provided below.
