About the Role

Corlann is the new name for Brothers of Charity Services Ireland. Corlann draws inspiration from cor, the Latin word for heart, and lann, the Irish word for place.

Corlann symbolises our determination to shape a vibrant, progressive future for our services, and to advocate tirelessly so that the people we support can shape their own lives.
