About AA in Ireland

Dublin and the Greater Dublin Area

AA Dublin coordinates the largest weekly meeting schedule in the country, with established groups across the city centre, the Northside, the Southside, and the suburbs of Dun Laoghaire, Bray, Tallaght, and Swords. Several Dublin groups have been meeting continuously since the 1950s. The city's meeting list includes a substantial number of LGBTQ+-friendly groups and meetings serving the Polish, Brazilian, and other international communities.

Cork, Galway, and the regional cities

Cork has the country's second-largest meeting calendar, with groups across the city centre and the surrounding suburbs of Douglas, Bishopstown, and Ballincollig. Galway serves the West with meetings near the university and across the city. Limerick and Waterford anchor their own regional networks. Belfast and Derry in Northern Ireland coordinate with both the Northern Ireland and Republic fellowships.

Rural Ireland and the smaller towns

AA in Ireland is notable for the density of meetings even in small towns. Almost every county town has at least one meeting per week, often more, and many smaller communities have weekly meetings supported by hybrid format for the days when getting in is impractical.

Getting to a meeting in Ireland

Dublin Bus, Luas tram, and DART suburban rail cover the Dublin area. Bus Eireann and Irish Rail serve the rest of the country. The directory shows each meeting's exact address with one-tap navigation links.
