  4. EE: 19 The Entrepreneur Solving Ireland’s Biggest Social Problems

Introduced to us by the legend Paul McCarthy, who described him
as a ‘National Treasure’, Denis O’Reilly more
than lived up to the title.


Denis is the founder of Wild Wicklow Tours,
ranked second globally on TripAdvisor and number one in Ireland
before selling it to Tony Doyle Coaches in 2023. But what truly
sets him apart is how he has channelled that success into
meaningful, lasting social impact.


Through Difference Days, Denis partners leading
organisations such as Smurfit Kappa, Aer Lingus, SMBC Aviation
Capital and many more with DEIS and Special Needs schools to
deliver transformational improvements from revitalised classrooms
to restored gardens. Every DEIS school in Ballymun has benefited,
and in partnership with Dublin City Council, he mobilised 300
volunteers to create a brand new community park in Dolphins Barn.


During Covid, after learning that many children were going
hungry, Denis launched Good Grubs, delivering up
to 5,000 fresh food packs per week. To date, more than 750,000
packs have been distributed nationwide. He also founded
Outdoor Spaces where he currently works,
creating safe outdoor learning environments that continue to
support schools across the country.


This is a powerful conversation about purpose-driven
entrepreneurship and the real impact business can have on
communities.
