About
ConnectIRL.ie
Real plans. Real people.
ConnectIRL.ie helps people in Ireland find company for the things they already want to do. Not another feed to scroll. A place to say “I'm going—who's in?”
Making friends as an adult is hard. Moving city, working remotely, or just wanting a fuller social life should not mean starting from zero every time.
We built ConnectIRL.ie around meetups in the real world.
What is ConnectIRL.ie?
A community platform for shared plans: walks, gigs, coffee, sport, festivals, and everything in between. You post what you are doing. Others show interest. You meet up.
Members can:
- Share plans they are going to or hosting
- Discover what is happening nearby
- Meet people through real plans, not endless scrolling
- Connect one-to-one when it feels right
- Join plan chats and wishlists with others
Personal profiles and organizer pages
Your personal profile is for you as a member: photo, bio, Connect, and plans you share as yourself.
If you run events, a venue, or a community, you can also create an organizer page at /o/your-slug. Same account, separate public face for your brand.
For organizersBuilt around real-life connections
Social media helps us stay connected.
ConnectIRL.ie helps us meet.
Our goal is not more screen time. It is more conversations, shared experiences, and friendships that start with showing up.
A welcoming community
We welcome people from all backgrounds. Whether you have lived here for years or arrived last week, the community is built on:
- Respect
- Kindness
- Inclusion
- Curiosity
- Genuine connection
Safety first
Use common sense when meeting people online or offline. Report anything that feels off. See our Terms of Service for community standards.
Our mission
Help people create meaningful friendships, discover experiences, and feel more connected to the communities around them.
Indie-built in Ireland. We ship in the open and improve with feedback from members and organizers.
