Afraid not Pat. There are only centres really as opposed to full time temples attached to monasteries. Where in Ireland are you based?

The closest building we have to a temple would be the Karma Kagyu centre in Inchicore Dublin 8. It is of the Vajrayana tradition and follow urgyen Dorje.

I had feeling that was coming!

I asked a friend about this and he says these 2 are the only groups he knows of. He's not sure if they do talks or what their programmes entail.

Hi,

There are few Theravada Buddhist groups in Ireland as you can see from http://www.buddhanet.info/wbd/search.php?keyword=&search=Begin+Search&country_id=65&province_id=0&tradition%5B%5D=theravada

There is a temple in north Dublin city somewhere. Can't recall but I think it is a Thai one. I recall an article in paper about it some time ago.
