The Irish Senior Citizens Parliament are holding a series of meetings (details below) on Communicating Europe
Three of the meetings are being hosted by our Divisions in Dunlaoighaire, Finglas and Galway. They are intended to provide an opportunity for Older People to receive in plain language;
A factual presentation on the workings of Europe and its Institutions
- A presentation on the changes which would result from the Lisbon Treaty
- A forum which will allow both Pro and Anti Lisbon Treaty sides in the Referendum debate an opportunity to present their positions.
Our intention is that Older People will be enabled to learn more about Europe and raise questions on issues and areas of concern to them.
