General Election 2011: Support Older People
In the run-up to General Election 2011 the Irish Senior Citizens Parliament today stepped up its campaign to “Support Older People”.
Máiréad Hayes, CEO of the Parliament outlined the five tenets of the campaign:
Support Older Peoples Income- Support Universal Health Care
- Support the Eradication of Elder Abuse
- Support Positive Ageing
- Support Older People in the Community
The ISCP has distributed thousands of Election Campaign sheets to its members & are encouraging them to actively engage with all candidates from all political parties to “Support Older People”. We have organised a number of meetings around the country enabling Older People to engage with the Election candidates, thus ensuring that the “Voice Of The Elderly” is heard.

Regulation required for Home Care
The Irish Senior Citizens Parliament condemns the latest scandal of Elder Abuse against Older People and reiterates the call made on that programme by its CEO Mairead Hayes that there is an urgent need for statutory regulation and licencing of this area of care for very vulnerable Older People.
The old and vulnerable must be protected and its time to stop the scandal and start bringing Ireland into the 21st Century.
