Commenting on the third annual Pensioners Handbook, Aine Brady (Minister for Older Persons) said: “I am pleased to see that the Irish Pensioners Handbook has maintained and indeed surpassed the high standards set for this valuable reference. Difficulties in accessing information on services, supports, entitlements and activities is, by far, the most frequently mentioned need among pensioners and their families. This handbook is therefore, a timely and useful update of the information that older people really need”.The Irish Pensioners Handbook is sponsored by leading home care provider, Home Instead Senior Care.

It is a valuable and easy to read guide specifically designed for older people and those caring for ageing loved ones".

We are also committed to helping you better understand some of these issues affecting Ireland's seniors and have launched this handbook to provide you with trusted information on a range of senior care issues", continued Ed Murphy of Home Instead Senior Care.
