Abstract
Description
Ireland’s population is living longer than ever before and our older
population is consistently growing in size. As the numbers of older people
in our society increases, more of us can expect to see and enjoy our older
years. It is a clear testament to the social and economic progress we have
made as a State over the past few decades. This is something that as a
nation we can celebrate and be justifiably proud of. However, we also need
to be aware of the challenges it will bring us over the coming years in almost
every aspect of public policy. Housing and health care will be no exceptions.
We need to plan ahead to meet the accommodation needs of an ageing
Ireland. This policy statement is an important step in that process.
