TIPPERARY PEACE CONVENTION

Tipperary International Peace Award

Tipperary International Peace Award

The Tipperary Peace prize is Ireland’s award for humanitarian work. The name Tipperary, because of the song “It’s a long way to Tipperary” is internationally associated with war. The founding committee of the Tipperary Peace Convention felt it was time that the town should be known for peace. To this end, the Peace Convention was instituted in 1983 by Tim Ryan, Joe Quinn, Maureen Walsh and Noel McInerney. The original aims were to promote the concept of peace through music and discussion, to provide an Open Forum for the discussion of current peace-related issues and to reward a person who has made a particularly noteworthy contribution to the peace-making process.
