Check out this wonderful and informative article by @EileenCasey2 who reported from our @dfatirl funded symposium "Ageing in Ireland and the EU: Opportunities and Challenges" in the current edition of @SeniorTimesMag. ul.ie/ceuros/news/ce…

Well…this is awkward lads 🥔☘️😉 #Irish #Ireland #Tayto #aerlingus #home

So many careful and informed questions from our members, from pressure on prison services, better disability services commitments, and more frustrations on funding and forward planning. #ge24 #futureiscommunity

A perceived lack of focus on education, climate, disability, and language and culture across party manifestos are strong themes from our members present today.

Your energy, enthusiasm, and participation made this symposium truly special. A big thank you to our amazing speakers, chairs and helpers! @ULLibrary We also thank @dfatirl for supporting this event.

This @Limerick_Leader article is from January. Has anyone had a refund from the Forever Young Festival yet? Their ‘crowdfunding’ ended yesterday having not reached their target. #ForeverYoung #ForeverYoungFestival @joeliveline limerickleader.ie/news/arts---en…

📢 Event at Omagh Library: 'Changing Attitudes to Ageing' 🗓️: April 8 ⏰: 1:30pm - 4:00pm In conjunction with @OpenUniversity & @LibrariesNI, the NI Commissioner for Older People @COPNI will be presenting on the significance of cultivating a positive attitude towards ageing.

Agree with @irishrurallink & also hearing this from our @activeirl members - @officialgaa online ticket policies create barriers for older people. Over 66s also having to book/pay for train seats online to travel to matches despite free travel scheme irishexaminer.com/news/arid-4135…
