About the EAP Institute
The Institute was founded by Maurice Quinlan, the current Director, who developed an interest in workplace alcoholism in 1973 and later introduced the concept of Occupational Alcohol Programmes (OAPs) to the European Union and in September 1980 hosted the first seminar on this topic in the Clarence Hotel, Dublin, Ireland. In 1985 he established one of the first external Employee Assistance Programmes (EAP’s) in Kilkenny, Ireland
