Today on Morning Focus, we spoke to Kay Murphy of Active Retirement Ireland about the impact Covid-19 is having on the older people in our community.
In part, of his speech last night, Taoiseach Leo Varadkar stated that older people and those with long-term illnesses would be asked to enter into a ‘cocoon’ period. What supports are needed then, and now, for our older people? Kay Murphy who is the President of Active Retirement Ireland joined us on the line to discuss this further.
Kay also provided listeners with numbers of contacts that people can get in touch with should they feel the need to, particularly the older people in our society, don’t hesitate to reach out.
