In 1961, Leonard Cheshire established Ireland’s first Cheshire service in Shillelagh, Co. Wicklow, supported by volunteers. Since then, additional services have been developed across the country. Initially, these services were overseen by local voluntary management committees responsible for operations and fundraising. Over time, Ireland's health and social care environment evolved, increasing the need for formal governance and oversight. To adapt to these changes, Cheshire Ireland has developed further structures and processes.
