merchants quay project
A voluntary drug-treatment agency that provides crisis intervention, day support services, and residential programs. Funding supports the ongoing development of the St. Francis Farm initiative, a year-long residential project that blends educational and skills training with self-development in a rural farming environment.

“With the current economic climate it is difficult to access statutory funding sources for what they see as not being explicitly clinical treatment. We are relying on the support of The American Ireland Fund to enable us to develop the initiative until it is self-reliant.”

Tony Geoghegan, Director
