The Iona Institute is an Irish-based think tank specialising in religion and society. David Quinn (Irish journalist) a well-known journalist and specialist in religious affairs founded the institute and it was launched publicly in early 2007.
The Institute says it is dedicated to the "strengthening of civil society" by supporting marriage and religion. It believes that rising crime, family breakdown, drug abuse etc. are experienced by a "weakened society" and that such a weakened society will not recognise the importance of marriage and religion unless a convincing, evidence-based case is made for them. The Institute is dedicated to making that case in Irish society.
