Prison Reform to Recovery Advocacy: Eddie Mullins on the Frontlines

Prison Reform to Recovery Advocacy: Eddie Mullins on the Frontlines

In this powerful episode of The Long Way Back, we are honored to be joined by Eddie Mullins, the newly appointed CEO of Merchants Quay Addiction Services in Ireland. Eddie brings over 30 years of leadership experience in the Irish Prison Service and is now at the forefront of addiction recovery, taking on this vital role to address Ireland’s growing addiction crisis.

Eddie shares his personal journey, growing up in inner-city Dublin and rising to leadership as Governor of five of Ireland’s prisons, including Mountjoy and Portlaoise. He reflects on his time working within the prison system, where he spearheaded innovative programs like the first social enterprise in Loughan House and the groundbreaking Parkrun at Mountjoy Prison.

We delve into important issues facing Ireland today, such as the development of new detox centers like Frances Farm, the opening of a new injection clinic, and Eddie's advocacy for increased aftercare and recovery services. He passionately discusses the critical need for more recovery beds and support systems for those overcoming addiction.

Now leading Merchants Quay, Eddie is focused on bringing his expertise to addiction services, ensuring people have access to the care and rehabilitation they deserve. We also explore his vision for education and apprenticeship programs within prisons and their role in reducing recidivism.

Join us for an inspiring conversation with Eddie Mullins as he shares his vision for a better future
