Conference on ageing

A conference on ageing will be hosted by the Lord Mayor of Cork next month.

Cllr Catherine Clancy announced details of the ‘Cork — Towards an Age-Friendly City’ event yesterday to mark International Day of Older Persons.

The conference in City Hall on Nov 4 will explore what lessons a city can learn from its older citizens; it will address the challenges of ageing; and it will also explore how cities can develop structures and services for older people.
