‘Grey Panthers’ should challenge all candidates

IN the forthcoming general election, or in any election, people should vote for politicians who they believe will best represent their interests.

In Ireland, one of the largest blocks of voters should be the over-50s who are consistently discriminated against in a variety of ways.

There are 600,000 over-50s eligible to vote — that’s more than 10% of the electorate. We should be voting as a group, and only for those politicians who will genuinely champion the cause of older people.
