We are the Irish chapter of the International Council for Traditions of Music and Dance (ICTMD), a non-governmental organization in formal consultative relations with UNESCO.  Its aims are “to further the study, practice, documentation,  preservation and dissemination of music and dance of all countries.”

The Irish chapter was founded in 2005, and the first annual conference of ICTMD Ireland took place in 2006. An in-depth history of the Irish branch and its activities to date is published in Issue 10 of Ethnomusicology Ireland.
