Agency and Ageing in Place in Rural Ireland: Exploring the housing preferences of older people in rural areas
15 Mar 2022
Hosted by: the ISS21 Ageing Research Cluster
Presenter: Dr Siobhan O'Sullivan, School of Applied Social Studies, UCC
Abstract
This seminar explores the views of older people living in rural areas across Ireland on where they choose to live, and the enablers or barriers they face to remain in their homes and local areas as they age. The seminar is based on the findings of a collaborative research project conducted from 2020 to 2021 with Age Action, Ireland’s leading advocacy organisation for older people.
The research was funded by an Irish Research Council New Foundations Grant. Details on the project are available at the following link: AAPRI
