Established in January 2000, the objective of Design Ireland was to inspire and encourage a positive understanding and utilisation of design by all strands of society, in particular business bodies and Governmental agencies, while internationally demonstrating the creative success and vitality of Irish Design. Design Ireland, an initiative of the combined representative bodies of the Irish design community, has been established as a result of the Government review of the Irish design consultancy sector. Design Ireland is the voice of the design industry in Ireland. It’s a business-focused enterprise and encompasses all the design disciplines.

Design Ireland will…

• Be a strong advocate for good design, demonstrating and creating leadership.
• Ensure that Government takes responsibility for the asset that is design.
• Ensure that design is strategic and creative.
• Promote Irish design both here and overseas.
