Clare Inclusive Research Group (C.I.R.G.) started in March 2008 with the appointment of a Research and Communications Officer for the Clare region of Brothers of Charity, Ireland, which is the largest provider of intellectual disability support in the Republic of Ireland. Over its short life the C.I.R.G. has identified relationship, holiday break, and personal social histories as possible research topics, and produced dramatisations, in play form, of relationships. This brief paper outlines some of the work the group has accomplished with respect to relationships.

This article describes a storytelling project that impacts on both people and services. The project encourages relationships and helps to keep memories alive for older people with learning disabilities. Funded by the Irish Research Council for Humanities and Social Sciences, and Marie Curie Actions, the project aims to make people’s stories available in an online archive as well as in text, audio and visual formats. The author envisages that the digital archive will evolve into a larger repository of stories, and include stories from family members. This will allow the archive to provide a first-hand look at what life is like for everyone involved in supporting older people with learning disabilities.
