Kay Murphy was very emotional as it is her last meeting in Killarney as President but not her last visit to Killarney! She said she enjoyed her time as Prersident and particularly visiting the different ARAs. She particularly memtioned her visit to Mallow where they celebrated 25 yrs with Mass and lunch and music and dancing last September. She asked us all to lobby for a minister for older people and said Active Retirement were looking for an increase in the living alone allowance.
Ann O Brien said she had helped to start 2 new ARAs . She also mentioned her trip to Mallow where she really enjoyed the days entertainment..2 people from CIC spoke about the work they do.
