Anthony Brennan, CEO of Zurich Ireland said: “We’re delighted to have Down Syndrome Ireland as our new charity partner. Zurich prides itself on its commitment to making a difference in the local communities in which we operate, and this new partnership allows us to extend our support to an organisation that has a deep well of support across our employee base in Ireland. We’re excited to start supporting DSI in ways that will directly help the families, children and adults who are part of the DSI family.”
