- From €300 + VAT per year
- 10-minute application
- Approval in 5–7 working days

Every PALI member is welcomed into ISME, the Irish SME Association: a HR advice line, the HR Hub of contracts and policy templates, subsidised Skillnet training and the ISME Advantage savings programme.
Never run it alone
Operator WhatsApp groups, regional meet-ups and an AGM where you can ask people who've solved it before.
The fee usually pays for itself in month one.
You don't need to use every benefit. One of them normally covers the subscription.
- One free training place ≈ €250
- Typical supplier savings ≈ €400+ a year
- Website & visibility audit ≈ €750 value
- Templates and policies you'd otherwise buy in
The questions operators actually ask.
- We're a small single-site venue, is it worth it?
- Most single-site members recover the €300 fee within the first few months through supplier discounts and free training alone, before you count insurance eligibility.
- Does membership guarantee insurance?
- No. Membership makes you eligible for consideration under the scheme. Cover depends on your compliance, safety record and the insurer's assessment.
- How long does joining take?
- The online application takes about 10 minutes. Applications are typically reviewed within 5–7 working days.
- Are we tied in?
- No. Membership runs annually and you can simply choose not to renew.
