Places of Sanctuary Ireland (PoSI) is the umbrella body for City of Sanctuary groups and Streams of Sanctuary across the Republic of Ireland and the island of Ireland. It is a registered charity that supports a network of local groups, schools, universities, libraries, faith communities and other organisations working to build a culture of welcome, hospitality and inclusion, so that people seeking sanctuary feel safe and are included in society. Its work includes coordinating the network, communicating across member groups, raising the profile of the Sanctuary movement, developing educational resources, running awards and recognition schemes, and hosting events such as the Dialogue of Friendship conference. The organisation is independent from City of Sanctuary UK from a governance perspective, but works closely with it under a Memorandum of Understanding. Places of Sanctuary Ireland is based in Mountjoy, Dublin 1, and its vision is that Ireland will be a welcoming place of safety for all and proud to offer sanctuary to people fleeing violence and persecution.
