Cheshire Ireland, Ballymount, Dublin 24, Ireland
About Cheshire IrelandIn 1961 Leonard Cheshire set up Ireland's first Cheshire service in Shillelagh, Co. Wicklow, supported by volunteers.
Since then, further services have developed around the country.
Initially, these services were supported by local voluntary management committees who oversaw the running of the services and who fundraised locally.
Over time, the Health and Social Care environment in Ireland changed with an increased requirement for governance and oversight.
