Ageism has no part in civilised society

AGEISM is the most common form of discrimination in the workplace in Ireland and is predicted to get worse when the retirement age is pushed back to 68.

To combat this growing problem, the charity Age and Opportunity has devised an Agewise workshop to raise awareness and to devise strategies to counter workplace age discrimination.

Sue Russell, an education and training co-ordinator at Age and Opportunity, says the courses are open to all.
