FÁILTE!
I am delighted to welcome you to the website of the Consulate General of Ireland, Chicago. In addition to providing information on the services provided by the Consulate such as applying for Irish passports and visas, it is a source of information on Ireland and the United States and the economic, political, cultural and other links between our two countries. I hope that you will find this website to be useful and informative.
