The Chair of the Oireachtas Housing Committee is questioning the lack of housing for elderly people to downsize.
The Chair of the Oireachtas Housing Committee is questioning Midlands services for elderly people to downsize.
Fine Gael TD Micheal Carrigy feels that Westmeath and Longford need communal living resources for people who no longer need three and four bed dwellings.
The counties currently have only two retirement villages or communities.
The Longford Westmeath rep believes this would enable homes to be made available to families if the single occupier could downsize.
He says connections to organisations could help people make the move:
