Gort,Multiculturalism,Festive Spirit

The small Co Galway town of Gort is known for its multiculturalism and openness. The town's resource center plays a central role in organizing festive events that bring newcomers and locals together. Demand for their services, including food support, has increased in recent months.

Unsurprisingly, Rozario confirms that demand for this service has risen sharply in recent months, with over 70 individuals and families requesting food support . On a festive trip from Gort to Galway, Zanzi Onipede, Abiola Owoade, Amanda Mc Manus, Manal Bouzerour and Gulsom Ibrahimi. The small Co Galway town of Gort could give masterclasses on multiculturalism, with the festive period an ideal time to showcase its openness.

Nobody is more proud of that than Annie Rozario, whose late father, from Kohat on the Afghan border with Pakistan, moved to Ireland in the 1960s with her Cornish mother. She is the busy coordinator at Gort Resource Centre, which is centrally involved in the town’s many festive events bringing newcomers and locals together. “I guess Gort has a well-established tradition of welcoming new people since people from Brazil first arrived in the 1990s to work in the local meat factory. They are now an integral part of our community,” Rozario say
