BOARD & GOVERNANCE
Our Journey
Our journey began in September 2007. The well-being of the ageing population of Ennis was the prime driver behind a group of people from a diversity of backgrounds forming Cuan an Chlair with the task of providing housing for elderly and a new Day-care centre, for 60 people. The development commenced July 2013 and was completed in April 2015.
