Established in 1998, Coiste na nIarchimí is the co-ordinating body for groups and projects throughout Ireland, providing services to republican ex-prisoners and their families.
The Coiste network of groups seeks to:
- Work for the removal of social, legal and administrative barriers facing the republican political ex-prisoner community as a result of imprisonment;
- Provide practical advice to political ex-prisoners and their families;
- Provide emotional and self-help support;
- Provide employment training and economic development programmes;
- Facilitate group interactions, dialogue and structured discussions and debates considering the legacy of the conflict and conflict transformation; and
- Ensure that our shared futures are ones based on equality of citizenship in a peaceful society.
In turn, the Coiste seeks to bring about an even spread of development among member groups while developing the overall structure for republican ex-prisoner groups and representing the concerns of the political ex-prisoner community to external agencies and sectors including the media, governmental structures in Ireland and the public in general.
