Comhlámh
The name ‘Comhlámh’ literally means ‘hands together’. It is a composite word in Irish, taken to mean ‘Solidarity’. Established 33 years ago, Comhlámh emerged in the context of an Ireland which was beginning to be much more aware of the world outside its island. The traditional missionary attitude to the South was being replaced by a greater awareness of development, and those Irish people going overseas were no longer predominantly missionaries. In this period many of the Irish development sending agencies were emerging; today there are a considerable number of agencies dealing with the traditional long term placement to very short term stints overseas.
