Our latest issue of the Development Programme Newsletter (Issue 40) is now available. In our last edition before the summer break, hear from our regional development officers and find out about all the fabulous day trips, mini-breaks, garden parties and summer BBQs our members have been enjoying up and down the country. There is information about Active Retirement Ireland’s pre-budget submissions to government, detailing our asks on behalf of our members around provision and support for older people in Budget 2026, and regular contributor Aidan Barry from Kilmurry ARA gives his thoughts on the question of ‘why should we?’ when it comes to taking steps to reduce our carbon footprint. We hope you enjoy!
