The Forgotten Irish Project

The power of a recent TV3 documentary about the plight of Irish people who emigrated to the UK in the 40s and 50s but are now experiencing very hard times moved John McKeown the owner of lookaroundireand.com to set up a fund to try and raise money for charities who are helping these forgotten Irish. Visitors to his site can make a donation of as little as an Euro to help and John hopes to raise one million euros by St. Patrick's day next year. John's gives a full background to the plight of the forgotten Irish, details on how you can help and information on where the money raised is going.
