North Burren Community Group is doing its bit to tackle loneliness.
This follows official figures, which reveal that 20 per cent of Irish people have reported feeling lonely most or all of the time, the highest level in the EU, where the average is just 13 per cent.
The group is aiming to tackle what it calls ‘the loneliness epidemic’ in Ireland, with a community building project.
The fundraising element will involve a concert by Sharon Shannon and Family next month.
To find out more, Alan Morrissey was joined by Christine Glynn, of North Burren Community Group and Roisín Garvey, advocate for combatting loneliness in Clare.
