 Description: he Society was founded in 1954 by a group of Finns, who had a love for Ireland and an aim to tell about this country to their fellow Finns. The First chairman was the Consul of Ireland Carl C. Slotte and other founder members were e.g. poet Aale Tynni and folklorist Kustaa Vilkuna. The society was quite small in the beginning, but did a good job in promoting Ireland in Finland. In the beginning of 60's it arranged a visit by Micheal MacLiammoir, who performed his famous show, The Importance of Being Oscar, in Helsinki.
