The information below is community-sourced from our membership. It is intended to help any of our members looking for information related to transness in Ireland or searching for resources as a trans person in Irish higher education and beyond. If you have a suggested organisation or resource you think should be on this list, let us know at transresearchireland@gmail.com. We especially welcome resources in or related to Irish language work.

Future Resources
As our network builds, we hope to be able to provide information regarding safe advocates based at Irish universities who are willing to provide support for trans students and colleagues. If you are interested in being privately designated as one such advocate, please contact us at transresearchireland@gmail.com. If you are hoping to find one such advocate, reach out to us at the same email.
