In addition to diplomatic missions resident in Ireland, numerous Irish volunteers participate in the organisation and the presentation of the ICBD and contribute to the variety of the Charity Bazaar with their labour, shows and presentations.
This year, the participating diplomatic missions obtained proceeds by selling traditional food, beverages, artwork, jewellery and souvenirs representative of the culture and the way of life of their respective countries.
The Embassy of the Republic of Croatia in Dublin sold chocolates and bonbons of the renowned Croatian company KRAš as well as sugar-coated almonds, lemon and orange peels, donated by the Croatian company Stella Croatica on its stand. It also offered one raffle prize, obtained thanks to the assistance provided by the Croatian Tourist Board in London and the company Hotels Maestral from Dubrovnik: a three day stay for two persons at hotels Vis, Splendid, or Komodor in Dubrovnik.
Numerous visitors expressed interest in Croatia as a tourist destination and were provided with information and various Croatian Tourist Board brochures by the Croatian Embassy staff.
