Age Friendly Ireland

Derived from the World Health Organisations Global Age Friendly Framework, Age Friendly Ireland is a Local Government led service in Ireland. It works with multiple national stakeholders to prepare Ireland’s infrastructure and services for the predicted rapid increase in our older population.

Age Friendly Ireland works directly with older people nationwide to ensure that their voice is heard and valued when it comes to decision making at both policy and operational levels through active consultation. The shared service centre, based in Meath County Council, coordinates 35 local Age Friendly programmes across each local authority area in Ireland.

Age Friendly Ireland’s mission statement is that Ireland will become a great place in which to grow older.
