Partas, formerly known as Get Tallaght Working (GTW) was set up in 1984 in response to increasing levels of unemployment and disadvantage within Tallaght. The founding members believed that enterprise creation and self-employment offered real opportunities to those who found it difficult to find employment during the bleak 1980s. In 1986 Partas appointed its first enterprise officer who was located in the old Telectron building, then owned by the IDA. With financial support from St Vincent de Paul and FÁS, the old factory was transformed into an enterprise centre in the mid 80s and has been managed by Partas ever since. In 1991, Partas appointed it’s first Chief Executive Office, Gerard Doyle, an important decision which helped to shape the organisation, and positioned it well for the rapid growth which followed. In 1999 Partas successfully purchased the building from the IDA, marking an important achievement for the ambitious Community Business.
