Large turnout at meeting on new Older People Council for Galway City

There was a strong turnout at a meeting held today to discuss the establishment of a new Older People Council for Galway City. 

OPC's aim to provide older adults with opportunities to take a more active role in their communities and have their voices heard on local and national policy. 

Galway City Council is working with Galway City Partnership and a range of other stakeholders to establish a local OPC.

There was a full house at today's meeting held at the Menlo Park Hotel, which featured presentations, speeches, music and even some dancing. 

These people explain their reasons for attending today.
