As Ireland prepares for the upcoming national elections, Active Retirement Ireland is deeply committed to ensuring that the rights, dignity and wellbeing of older people remain central to public policy debates. Ireland’s ageing population is one of its greatest assets and, as such, we call upon all political parties and candidates to prioritise policies that promote a society where older people are valued, empowered and supported to live with independence and security.
The Active Retirement Ireland General Election Manifesto 2024 outlines our key policy demands aimed at creating a more equitable and inclusive society for older adults across Ireland. Our focus areas — pension reform, ageing in place, combating ageism, enhancing healthcare access and improving social inclusion — reflect the urgent needs of older people today.
Together, we can ensure that older people are at the forefront of Ireland’s future. Let’s make sure our voices are heard in this election.
