ARIS – the Association of Retired Insurance Staff
ARIS was founded by Ray Fitzgerald and other former colleagues on 'the Mall' following a well attended meeting at The Imperial Hotel on 2 October, 1981. Ray, a member and lifelong supporter of The Insurance Institute of Cork, wanted to ensure that old contacts and friendships were not lost.
ARIS was founded, and remains under, the auspices of The Insurance Institute of Cork.
