Ageism Policy: Statements (Resumed).

 

4:00 pm

Mary Henry (Independent)

I have not had a chance to do so yet.

It was interesting to hear reports of what the Minister for Finance stated this morning that our demography is good and that we still have many young people. In many parts of Europe, older people are obliged to continue to work because businesses could not keep going without them. I was in a hotel in a small village in Bavaria last year and it seemed it was being run by people who were all well over 60 years of age, or perhaps over 70 years of age. I was going out for the evening and I was asked if I would be late back.
