“European Neighbours Day gives us a way of celebrating our existing friendships and building on new contacts in our communities. Being the Year of Intercultural Dialogue, I urge all Dubliners to make a special effort this year to celebrate with your neighbours on 27th May. The Day is a reminder to each and everyone of us to reach out to those who feel isolated by simply having a chat with your neighbour or by taking part in the activities organised.”

Lord Mayor Cllr. Paddy Bourke., DUBLIN

"It was our first year so we decided to adopt a relatively low key approach in order to assess the level of interest from groups which was much higher than anticipated so the intention is to adopt a much higher profile for next year. All community Associations and Community Development project were written to and invited to organize events. For instance : Blackpool Community Association held an open day in their community centre with food, music, etc.

St Patricks Infants National School held a concert to which all people living in the community were invited. Attendants were also given a tour of school and met with teachers and pupils. Douglas Senior Citizens Club organized an outing for older living in the Community Orchard Court Neighbours day organized a Children's party.

Ballyphehane Community association held an open evening with food, music, etc. Middle Parish Community Association held an open day in their community centre with food, music, etc.
