Our work

We are Pobal Mhuire, a loving, caring, and attentive community offering refuge, hope, and transformation.

A growing number of young women in Ireland are suffering the effects of drug and alcohol abuse. Over many decades, members of our community have provided practical support and assistance to addicts, alcoholics, and the homeless.

Our message

What we have learned by listening to thousands of stories is this: lasting recovery needs more than “managing the problem”.

Through those many years offering hope, nourishing faith, reinforcing light we have come to understand what makes the real difference. We have listened to each individual story of loss of hope, the search for escape, the lure of addiction and the isolation it inevitably brings.

We have seen the shortfalls and inadequacies in the many well-intentioned but ineffective responses that seek to manage the problem rather than providing enduring solutions.

Our pathway

We have created a unique pathway to support every step on the journey from the hopelessness of addiction to renewal as a member of a loving, caring and attentive community.

Enduring success

Our approach has been tested in the face of extreme challenges and proven to deliver sustained success.

Meaning & belonging

It replaces addiction with meaning as members of a loving, caring, attentive community.

Hope, faith & light

We provide hope, faith and light where there were none.
