The Parliament, which is being supported by Lisburn and Castlereagh City Council, will be held in the Lagan Valley Centre in Lisburn, and will feature interactive voting, discussion and Q&A with panels of local Councillors and Northern Ireland Assembly candidates.

Francis Hughes from Age Sector Platform commented: “This is a great opportunity for older people from the Lisburn and Castlereagh area to make their voice heard. If you’re sixty or over, why not come along and see what it’s all about?

“The parliament is a great forum for local older people to raise concerns they may have about healthcare, the cost of living, community safety and much more.”
