Goethe-Institut Irland

The Goethe-Institut Irland organises and supports a wide spectrum of cultural events which present German culture abroad and promote the inter-cultural dialogue.Our Language Department promotes the German language in Ireland through its language courses, examinations, training seminars for teachers and its advertising campaigns for German.

The Information and Library Service of the Goethe-Institut Irland provides information on current aspects of cultural, social and political life in Germany. It offers extensive collections of books and other media to those who are interested in Germany, and together with the Teachers’ Library, it is the first point of contact for those who are interested in learning or teaching German.

The redevelopment of the Goethe-Institut’s Irish HQ at 37 Merrion Square will see the 1790 Georgian townhouse refurbished to its period glory and welcome the creation of a contemporary mews building for the language school and a new garden on the site. The Goethe-Institut will relocate all services to 62 Fitzwilliam Square until the Merrion Square building re-opens in 2018.
