Waterford Institute of Technology recently hosted a half day conference to fill in the knowledge gap and shine a light on what it really means to be Irish.

“On St Patrick’s Day, many people around the world celebrate being Irish, but many have no idea about the culture behind it,” says Jacinta Greene Beatty, a lecturer in Hospitality Management, the organiser of the event,

A model programme ‘Be Irish for a day’ was launched which will be rolled out on 15 March 2022 when WIT students get experience of the model programme firsthand which they could replicate and enhance in their future careers.
