We represent Equity members in Northern Ireland.
As the Northern Ireland National Committee, we advise the Equity Council and take approved action on any matters relevant to the professional employment of Equity members in Northern Ireland.
We work and liaise with other bodies in Northern Ireland, e.g. Northern Ireland Assembly, Arts Council of Northern Ireland, Irish Congress of Trade Unions, and serves as a channel of communication between the Council and members in Northern Ireland and vice-versa.
Will you join us to Save the Arts and Lobby Stormont?
We’re asking supporters to sign up to meet with their MLA on Tuesday 8 September 2026, to end the budget the crisis and demand an Arts Policy.
