Age Action Ireland is a national network on ageing and older people. Age Action promotes better policies and services for all older people and an ageing society.  Its main aim is to improve the quality of life of all older people, especially those who are most disadvantaged and vulnerable, by enabling them to live full, independent and satisfying lives for as long as they wish in their own homes, or in other appropriate accommodation.  Age Matters is Age Action's monthly newsletter. The June edition is available below:
