The Government has promised consultation meetings with older people on a National Positive Ageing Strategy. The Strategy will be a long-term plan for making Ireland a better place in which to grow older. It will cover policies, services and practices in areas such as health care, housing, transport, income, employment and independent living.

However, no information has yet been released about dates or venues for the promised consultation meetings.
