Immigrant integration policies, processes, and outcomes in contemporary Ireland

ABOUT ISPA:
The Irish Social Policy Association was founded in 1997. The Association was established to provide a forum for the analysis, discussion and development of social policy in Ireland, North and South. The Association endeavors to broaden the debate on social policy by providing a forum for discussion that embraces the views and opinion of a wide range of relevant actors. ISPA brings together professionals and non-professionals with an interest in social policy, including: academics, policy makers, officials in the civil service and public service bodies, employer and trade union organisations as well as organisations and groups in the not-for-profit sector. Through the Association, discussions and debates have been stimulated on a variety of contemporary social policy issues for over 20 years. For more, see: www.ispa.ie
