""Life is a bit like sitting on a sofa," says Rory Guinness, chair of the Iveagh Trust. He's joking - riffing off the Friends-style photo we've arranged, that has him and his daughter, Aoife, seated alongside Iveagh Trust tenant Leonie Crowley, and employees including John Barrett and Martin O'Keeffe."
""We're all living together," is his basic belief - we occupy this world together, with similar basic needs."
The Iveagh Trust has provided housing to Dubliners for 135 years. Rory Guinness, as chair, frames communal life as shared and rooted in common needs. The trust prioritizes creating beautiful, supportive communities and sustaining long-term relationships among tenants and staff. A Friends-style photograph with Guinness, his daughter Aoife, tenant Leonie Crowley, and employees John Barrett and Martin O'Keeffe symbolizes everyday togetherness. The organization combines historical legacy with an ongoing mission to expand attractive, affordable housing that emphasizes solidarity, dignity, and the basic necessities of communal living.
