READ MORE BELOW PHOTO As healthy ageing has many dimensions, the physical, mental, emotional and social, supporting and caring for them as individuals and communities make our daily lives and the places we live, better for us all as we grow older. In this context, the day was focused on providing a wide range of information and raising awareness of the many ways we can feel well and live in healthy environments. The event was opened by Fr Simon Cadam and presentations were made by Kitty Hughes, Chairperson, Age Friendly Longford; Rosemary Gaynor, Granard Librarian; Marina Moorhead, Co. Longford Liaison Nurse for Public Health; Cathaoirleach of Longford County Council Turlough McGovern. A very special poetry and music piece was produced by Sr Maeve, Levka, Sophie, Leah and Daniel from Cnoc Mhuire, Granard and was one of the highlights of the day. A lovely lunch was provided by Eilish and her team at Dial A Chef. The event was a huge success with over 100 people in attendance. Special thanks is due to all the staff at Rath Mhuire, Pamela, Marie, Celine, Hugh and Jackie for organising such a successful event and continuing to serve the people in North Longford.
