Mr Pat Doyle, B.A., H.Dip Adult Ed., M.A Sustainable Development. Pat has worked with marginalised young people at risk of addiction, homelessness and offending in the Partnership/Rapid areas of Finglas, Ballymun, Darndale, Tallaght and Blachardstown for more than 17 years. His experience in these areas continues to underpin his work to promote inclusion. He managed BOND from 2000 to 2005 during which time he was responsible for establishing a range of services to young people returning to Blanchardstown from prison. From 2002-2005 he chaired two initiatives, Blanchardstown Homeless Forum (ROOFS) which developed a local response to tackling Homelessness and ‘Blanchardstown Equal Initiative’ which focused on the inclusion on the most marginalised in the work place. A core part of its work was to pilot an action to develop ‘Interagency Protocols’ for working with drug users. He is also a Director of Balcurris Boys Hostel and Chair of NEVA (Network of Ex-prisoner Voluntary Agencies). Pat was appointed CEO of the Peter McVerry Trust in late 2005 to oversee a new development plan and aim to put the current work of the Trust on a sustainable footing. He is currently undertaking a PhD at NUI Maynooth.
