Óglaigh Náisiúnta na hÉireann ONE Veterans Charity

Óglaigh Náisiúnta Na hÉireann / the Organisation of National Ex-Service Personnel (ONE) was founded in March 1951. ONE is a Veteran’s Organisation, a Registered Charity, a Company Limited by Guarantee, an Approved Housing Body, and a Sustainable Energy Community. RCN: 20044268 / CHY13868.

In pursuit of its aims, the role of ONE can be summarised in four words – Support, Comradeship, Advocacy and Remembrance. ONE’s services are available to all veterans of the Defence Forces, while also facilitating homeless veterans from other countries living in Ireland, from time to time.

ONE currently provides accommodation in its four residential homes in Athlone, Cobh, Dublin, and Letterkenny. A fifth home is being developed in Cork City and there are plans for further homes. ONE has developed a nationwide network of Branches and Veteran Support Centres and continues to develop its professional Veteran Mental Health Support Services, supporting struggling Defence Forces veterans.
