Do you mean the Irish Centre as a centre for Irish cultural activities, or the actual building?
The cultural activities continue in a redundant Catholic club in Everton. The club is called Saint Michael's Irish Centre, and it is located at 6 Boundary Lane, West Derby Road, Liverpool, L6 5J.
The Irish Centre building, complete with magnificent facade and interior, has been unoccupied ever since the Centre fell into receivership. It's a crying shame that Liverpool's Irish community is now too dissipated to maintain an enterprise of that size, and that such a beautiful building can't be put to some good use.
