History

Itzacon Eire was founded in 2005[2] by Anita Murray,[3] then Auditor of the Society. As of 2019 it has been run for fifteen years successfully and looks to continue in that vein into the future.

In 2007 it established the National Game Writers Award. This award is for Role-playing game and LARP writers who have shown a continued dedication to the Irish convention scene and have produced material of noted quality for Itzacon Eire.[1]
