Both English and French literature and artists are known all around the world. On 31th March, the 18th Franco-Irish Festival takes place in Dublin. It celebrates the friendship between France, French-speaking countries and Ireland.

The Franco-Irish Committee carefully chose artists and writers, who had a huge influence on literature.
