MDI Head Office
On 1st April 2011, the keys of 75 Lucan Road, Chapelizod, Dublin 20 were handed over to Joe Mooney, Chief Executive Officer of Muscular Dystrophy Ireland and this address then became the new home, offices and permanent address of MDI. This is an exciting new era for our organisation as it marks the beginning of the latest chapter in the history of MDI. For nearly 40 years now MDI have been operating from members living rooms (for the first 12 years), and from rented offices for the past 25 years, but in June 2010 we purchased a premises with a view to establishing a new Centre of Excellence for people with Neuromuscular Conditions. This building required extensive renovations to make it totally wheelchair accessible and the work is now complete.
On 4th April 2011 after a busy weekend of moving furniture and office equipment etc, this 6000sq ft premises became the new and permanent Head Office of Muscular Dystrophy Ireland.
Initially this new building will just maintain and manage the existing support and administration services provided by MDI. And in the near future this premises will become a unique “Centre of Excellence for people with Neuromuscular Conditions” living in Ireland.
This purpose designed building will eventually encompass a wide range of facilities to enable people with neuromuscular conditions to access information and support services. It will also include one of the most comprehensively equipped aids and appliance facilities, where members and individuals can try out and test such appliances. A large boardroom is also available for hosting meetings and AGM’s etc. And in due course it is envisaged that a variety of courses and other activities can be run from this facility.
