Macra na Feirme

Macra na Feirme (Irish pronunciation: [ˈmˠakɾˠə n̪ˠə ˈfʲɛɾʲəmʲə]; officially meaning 'Stalwarts of the land')[2] is an Irish voluntary rural youth organisation.

The organisation provides a social outlet for members in sport, travel, public speaking, performing arts, community involvement and agriculture.

The organisation rebranded in September 2022 by shortening the name of the rural youth body to Macra.

Athy Town Hall became the national headquarters of the organisation in September 1947.

[8] As of August 2016, Macra na Feirme had approximately 8,000 members in clubs around Ireland.
