Description
At the start of the 20th century, with the industrialization and modernization of society, recreational non-profit associations rose. This club, created in 1904, is still today a living example. It began at Batalha Square, but in 1935 moved to the building near the city hall. Contrary to its name, of Irish political and revolutionary origin, the club is born of the festive desire of a cultural and artistic carnival activity inspired by Brazil and Venice. Today it houses activities of solidarity, philanthropy, dance, magic, games, music or parties, having received the title of Commander of the Military Order of Christ and the City’s Gold Medal.
