National Service Owners Council

The Enable Ireland Service Owner Council is composed of representatives of the adult Service Owners from each of the counties where Enable Ireland provides a service to adults.

The Enable Ireland Service Owner Council is an independent representative committee of people with disabilities, whose aims are:

  • To work in partnership with the other stakeholders within Enable Ireland to enhance our service.
  • To negotiate with Enable Ireland management on behalf of Service Owners.
  • To advocate on behalf of those Service Owners who are unable to advocate effectively on their own behalf.
  • To ensure that our work/activities are accessible to all Service Owners (e.g.: Easy read documents, sharing audio and video files/newsletters).
  • To work with other groups, including people with disabilities, education providers, employers, and others, nationally and internationally, in order to work towards a truly inclusive society.
