Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown is fortunate to have one of the largest oldest populations nationally with almost 16% of the local population aged over 65 in 2016. The County Council works with partner agencies on the Dun Laoghaire-Rathdown Age Friendly Alliance to deliver on our Age-Friendly Strategy.

I was delighted therefore recently to represent the County at a prestigious ceremony where An Taoiseach, Leo Varadkar TD, acknowledged the work local authorities do to in this area.
