Who We are?

The Federation of Indian Communities in Ireland (FICI) is an umbrella organisation. The FICI as an apex community association may represent the voice of a majority of people of Indian origin living in Ireland. An Individual volunteer, an ethnic group /regional Indian community association, or a club that is a part of the vibrant Indian community in Ireland can join and become a formal member of FICI. This community organisation was founded by a number of like-minded organizations or individuals for coming together for sharing their mutual understanding, benefits, and resources that are of importance not only to its esteemed members but to the greater humanity. It is a non-political, non-religious, and non-profitable organisation. Since 2018, FICI is a registered CLG in the Companies Registration Office.

Our Vision

We at the FICI are determined to bring the different regional and culturally diverse Indian communities in Ireland under this umbrella organisation with the motto to show our ‘unity in diversity’ and ‘one voice for one community’. Our vision is to make FICI an Apex community organisation along with an Indian cultural hub or center of Ireland.
