MERCY CARE SOUTH COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE

Mercy Care South Company Limited by Guarantee is a dedicated trustee and governance body set up by the Sisters of Mercy, Southern Province. Its principal role is to hold the trustee responsibilities for Mercy University Hospital Cork CLG and the Mercy University Hospital Cork Foundation CLG, ensuring that both organisations operate in line with the founding values of Catherine McAuley and the wider principles of Catholic healthcare.

Operating as a civil‑law company under the Companies Act 2014, Mercy Care South also incorporates a canonical entity governed by the Sisters’ own statutes. This dual structure enables the organisation to blend modern corporate governance with the spiritual heritage of the Mercy tradition, empowering lay leaders to continue the mission of delivering high‑quality, compassionate care to people of all faiths and none.

Based in Cork, Mercy Care South works behind the scenes to safeguard the strategic direction, financial stewardship and ethical standards of the hospital and its charitable foundation, thereby supporting the delivery of exemplary health services throughout the region.
