A whole lot of good energy, a Saturday morning reset, phones away & 45 minutes of, as Michael would say “getting high on your own supply” who wouldn’t want that? 🤗

Turns out a room full of Irish people can be quiet for 45 minutes… who knew? 😉

Hugh thank you to Ciara & Michael from Ciara & Michael | FIFO couple for keeping it light, easy & genuinely fun from start to finish & for sharing your time & talent with our community.

To everyone who pulled up a mat & showed up for yourselves on a Saturday morning… thank you. You brought the calm, the craic & honestly the best vibes to ease into the weekend.

This is just the beginning, let us know in the comments what should we do next? 🤔💭

This is what representation looks like 🇮🇪

Last week our Manager Fionnuala represented IASAQ at the 2026 Celebrating Multicultural Communities Reception, hosted by Premier David Crisafulli David Crisafulli MP on behalf of the Queensland Government, at Queensland Parliament House.

An evening built entirely around recognising the contribution multicultural communities make right across Queensland & celebrating the people and communities that make Queensland the vibrant, multicultural place it is.

Delighted to be there. Delighted to represent. Delighted (as always) to be Irish in Queensland 💚

To The Ireland Funds Australia and everyone who rallied behind to help raise this donation…thank you, sincerely, for standing by us.

Ireland Funds Australia have chosen to support IASAQ with a generous donation, continuing the support they’ve shown us over recent years.

This kind of generosity keeps our programs running and our community connected, from quiet chats over tea to our biggest gatherings. Every donation, big or small, helps us hold a little piece of home for Irish hearts here in Queensland 💚

This is the practical side of IASAQ that flies under the radar!

So you might think of us for fun events, connecting with the Irish community and having a bit of craic. But there’s a lot more going on behind the green door over at 5 Abingdon Street.

From finding your people here or heading back home to connecting with the Irish community in QLD or getting genuine help when you need it most.
