Age Action is a charity which promotes positive ageing and better policies and services for older people.
As part of our remit, we regularly advocate with and on behalf of older people. This includes taking part in a variety of consultation processes.
Listed below are some of our recent submissions to government departments and key stakeholders.

Maureen Cullinane is 72 but instead of taking it easy, the Cork woman is learning the Irish language, making radio documentaries, hating housework and channelling her inner Steve Jobs and Mark Zuckerberg to train her peers as part of Age Action’s Getting Started computer training.
