So many careful and informed questions from our members, from pressure on prison services, better disability services commitments, and more frustrations on funding and forward planning. #ge24 #futureiscommunity

[The Wheel @The_Wheel_IRL]

A perceived lack of focus on education, climate, disability, and language and culture across party manifestos are strong themes from our members present today.

Agree with @irishrurallink & also hearing this from our @activeirl members - @officialgaa online ticket policies create barriers for older people. Over 66s also having to book/pay for train seats online to travel to matches despite free travel scheme https://t.co/0ccgq2vCza
