The signing of the Dublin Declaration on Age friendly Cities and Communities in Europe in 2014 by all 31 of our local authorities represents a significant national commitment to creating an inclusive, equitable society in which older people can live full, active, valued and healthy lives. The Age Friendly Cities and Counties Programme provides a means of putting the declaration into operation by bringing City and County Councils, the Health Service Executive, An Garda Síochána, Non-Governmental Organisations (NGO’s), business and third level sector representatives together at local authority level - to plan, share resources and streamline their work, with the interests and needs of older people and an ageing population at their core. See also www.clarecoco.ie/services/community/clare-age-friendly-county or www. agefriendlyireland.ie Clare older People’s Council The Clare Older People’s Council (OPC) is a voluntary, autonomous group which seek to represent the views, needs and interests of people aged 55 plus in Clare. The OPC, as it is known, works with the Clare Age Friendly Alliance Board comprising of local statutory, voluntary and not for profit organisations in the county, to ensure that matters affecting older people are at the heart of policy and strategic development. Clare OPC can be contacted on (065) 684 6240 or email: [email protected] Facebook page: Clareopc About this guide This guide will help you find out important information on a range of topics that will help you in your day to day life. It will be updated regularly and submissions can be made to: [email protected], Rural Development Directorate, Clare County Council, Áras Contae an Chláir, New Road, Ennis, Co. Clare, (065) 682 1616. The guide has 9 main parts and these are colour coded for ease of reference 1. Advice and information 2. Entitlements 3. Health 4. Housing 5. Safety and Security 6. Social and leisure 7. Transport (including information about driving licences) 8. Support Groups 9. Organisations for Older People 6 1. ADVICE AND INFORMATION See Appendix pg 39 for contact numbers and addresses. Citizens Information County Clare is served by three Citizens Information Centres in Ennis, Kilrush and Shannon. The county also has 4 Outreach Services in Ennistymon, Killaloe/Ballina, Lisdoonvarna and Ennis. 1. Legal Advice Free Legal Advice Centre A Free Legal Advice Service operates from Citizens Information Centre in Ennis on Tuesdays and Fridays from 3:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. and Wednesdays from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. (appointment only). You may need legal advice about Enduring Power of Attorney or making wills. Making a Will One of the most important issues is to sort out a will. A will can ensure that proper arrangements are made for dependants and that property is distributed in the way you wish after you die, subject to certain rights of spouses and children. Enduring Power of Attorney (EPA) An EPA is the giving by a person, when they have decision-making capacity, formal authority to another person called an attorney to make decisions when they are no longer able to make those decisions for themselves. 2. Financial advice Financial information takes place on the first Thursday and third Wednesday of every month from 5:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. in the Citizens Information Centre in Ennis (appointment only). You might particularly benefit from advice on pensions and payments/allowances. 3. Threshold Service The Threshold Service is a housing service. It provides information on the third Thursday of the month from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. and 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. “think Ahead” “Think Ahead” is an Irish Hospice Foundation programme which provides a guide to members of the public to help you discuss and record your preferences in the event of an emergency, serious illness, or death. The Think Ahead form allows you to record your wishes about care in the event of serious illness or death. Details about your emergency contacts, health information, legal information, financial affairs and wishes for care after death can be documented on the form and shared with family and loved ones. Money Advice and Budgeting (MABS) The Money Advice and Budgeting Service is the state’s money advice service, guiding people through dealing with debt and helping them to manage their money. There are two MABS offices in County Clare. 7 Eircode About Eircode Eircode, Ireland’s postcode system launched in July 2015. Over a third of addresses in Ireland have the same address with at least one other property. This makes it difficult for those delivering goods and services to accurately identify the location of an address. Clare County Council has produced a fridge magnet whereby your eircode can be recorded on it. MapAlerter - Clare Alerts Clare Alerts is a free alert service about events e.g. weather events, road closures etc. provided by Clare County Council for people living and working in County Clare. 8 2. ENTITLEMENTS See Appendix pg. 40 for contact numbers and addresses. This section has information on pensions and other allowances and packages you might quality for. Applying for a pension The State Pension (Contributory) payable to people from age 66 is based on your social insurance (PRSI) contributions. It is not means tested, so the payment you receive is not affected by other income you may have, such as an occupational pension. The State Pension (Non-contributory) is a means-tested payment for people from age 66 if you don’t qualify for a contributory pension, based on your social insurance (PRSI) contribution record or if you only qualify for a reduced rate of State Pension. Both pensions are taxable but you are unlikely to pay tax if it is your only income. Changes to the qualifying age for state pensions The Social Welfare and Pensions Act 2011 made a number of changes to the qualifying age for State Pensions. The qualifying age will rise to 67 in 2021 and 68 in 2028. So: • If you were born on or after 1 January 1955 the minimum qualifying State Pension age will be 67. • If you were born on or after 1 January 1961 the minimum qualifying State Pension age will be 68.

  • Blue Flags for Lough Derg and Burren Passport
    Blue Flags for Lough Derg and Burren Passport Monday, 9 June 08 An Taisce has awarded the prestigious International Blue Flag to eight of County Clare’s beaches. Mountshannon and Ballycuggeran on Lough Derg retained the Blue Flag status they lost in 2006 due to the presence of algal bloom in the lake while Cappa, Kilkee, White Strand (Miltown Malbay), Lahinch and Fanore have also held on to their Blue Flags. Meanwhile, Clare County Council has expressed its delight that White Strand (Doonbeg) regained its Blue Flag for 2008. Deputy Mayor of Clare, Councillor Brian Meaney, today collected all eight flags at a ceremony in County Louth. Speaking following today's awards ceremony, Cllr Tommy Brennan,Chairof Clare County Council's Environment, Emergency Services and Consumer Protection Strategic Policy Committee said, 'I am delighted that Clare has secured eight Blue Flags this year. I especially welcome the fact that White Strand, Doonbeg regained its Blue Flag Status. This loss in 2007 was not because of inadequate bathing water quality but due to necessary access works at the beach, which Clare County Council has since successfully completed.' Cllr. Brennan indicated that the awarding of Blue Flags to eight Clare beaches was achieved through the hard work of local communities and Local Authority staff. 'Again, it is further proof of what the county can achieve when Clare Local Authorities and members of the public work together', he added. According to Sean Ward, Senior Engineer, Environment & Emergency Services Directorate, "Clare County Council is extremely happy with the eight blue flags achieved, especially the re-awarding of White Strand, Doonbeg, which is a reflection of the positive actions taken by Clare County Council at this beach to improve access." The Blue Flag award is an exclusive eco-label awarded to more than 3,000 beaches and marinas in 28 countries in the Northern Hemisphere each year.

File No. S.2368 Form B.S.M.2 STATEMENT BY THOMAS SHALLOO, Parliament St., Ennistymon, Co. Glare, formerly Vice O/C 5th Battalion, Mid dare Brigade. I was born on 12.1.1895 at Caherclough, Ennistymon, where my people were farmers. At present I carry on business as a publican and as a commercial traveller, having a number of agencies for the counties. of Glare and Galway. I joined the Irish Volunteers on their formation in Ennistymon early in 1914. My recollection now is that the unit was, under the control of a committee, and that it contained about 150 men from the town and the surrounding districts. Drilling, which took place in the Town Hall, was under the control of three. instructors, Andy O'Brien, Christy Doyle and Ambrose Kelligher, all ex British Army men. We drilled twice a week, timber guns being used for musketry instruction at first, and after some months the unit got a dozen Martini Henry rifles through some source of which Phi not aware. The instructors were very competent men and by the summer of 1914. they had moulded the Ennistymon unit into a smart military body well versed in squad, company and musketry drill. Though the Town Hall was.! then the headquarters of the unit, we did most of our training in field outside the town and also got some practice in skirmishing and manoeuvres on the surrounding countryside.
