WELCOME - Helping to Make a Better Place to Live and Work

Dear Raheny Resident,

Welcome to this very special Raheny Information booklet – a joint project between Raheny Business Association and Raheny Age Friendly, and funded by Raheny Business Association.

We have worked closely together over the past 2 years to implement the Raheny Age Friendly Action Plan.

One of the key findings from the extensive consultation process with residents, especially older people was the lack of one source for all local community information.

C We don’t claim that this booklet is the definitive source for all local information but it is a start! Hopefully, if it proves successful we will build on it for the future. If you are involved M in a local organisation that has not been included please let us know. Family Run Business Y Est 1982 The booklet has been delivered to 8500 homes in Raheny and surrounding areas. CM Please keep the booklet handy so that when you are looking for information on a local service, club or Business, you will be able to look it up and find it quickly and easily. MY Reliable & Raheny Business Association has 140 members who employ over 600 people in Raheny. CY Friendly Service

CMY We encourage you to support Local Businesses, clubs, schools, organisations and associations. It is only with your support that they can thrive and grow.

K Regards,

Aidan Aidan Fitzsimons, Vanessa Carey Chairman Raheny Age Friendly 8 Main Street, Raheny, 5 Raheny Business Association

All responders are trained Cardiac First Responders and will be carrying a defibrillator, Aspirin and other necessary patient care equipment.

The group is linked to the National Ambulance Service (NAS) via a mobile phone. When an emergency call comes into the NAS within the agreed radius of Raheny with any of the above medical conditions, the responder on call receives an automatic text message from the NAS control room with details of the call and the responder responds to the location to begin to treatment while the ambulance is on route. The group is fully funded by donations with no government funding. There are currently 14 Automatic External Defibrillator (AED) located in businesses in Raheny and the 1st public AED is located on the wall of AIB Raheny with plans for at least two more AEDs in the coming year.
