Paul joined us as the Rua D8 Team Leader in January 2023, bringing with him 9 years of experience in the addictions sector, 2 years in homeless services, and volunteer work with the National Family Support Network. He is deeply committed to advocating for young people and their communities. In his own words:

“Having grown up in a community facing similar barriers, my role allows me to be a positive, consistent, and trusted presence for young people, to help them bring about change in their lives and communities. It can take a long time, but when we get to see young people making positive changes it makes the darker side of the work worthwhile.”

Paul holds qualifications in Addiction Counselling and Strategic Management from UCD and is from the Norther East Inner City. Outside of work, he enjoys cooking, spending time with his son and family, football, and traveling.
