Times are not good we know and younger people will bear the brunt of this generation's excesses for many years to come. Older people have not encouraged these excesses and should not now be asked to suffer cut-backs which will severely affect their quality of life by denying them the right to remain at home during their twilight years. Have a heart!

Leave the elderly alone!! you'll be old yourself oneday, but well off i'd say.

An Taoiseach, Please support older people who wish to live at home, it is clearly the better choice and the most inexpensive also for the government.

It is tough enough getting older,leave us in peace to enjoy whatever time is left to us

Aged 68, still working and paying tax. Parents of an emigrant, who cannot afford to support us should our health fail. Please do not condemn us to live and die amongst strangers, but allow us to live out my last years in the home we have paid for by the sweat of our brow.

It will cost the Government less to keep older folk in their own homes in the long run,protect vital home supports from cuts.

Dear Taoiseach, I write to concernong older peoples rights and their dignity. Thus,I earnestly request you to honour your promises in order to allow the elderly citizens within our state to retire with dignity and without fear.

Please grant us the dignity to grow old gracefully,peacefully and at home

Just support us our time is limited. Please don't promise what you won't or can't deliver. God bless the government

I support this campaign and trust that you Taoiseach will protect these vital supports for older citizens through the forthcoming budget?

Living a life with independence and integrity is the right of every person in Ireland. This right should not be suspended because a person reaches an age where health issues and mobility hinder these rights.Please support the funding necessary so that older people can age with dignity within their home.

I am 84 3/4 and want to stay at home and would not be able to stay at home without the help of a proper Home Care Package. My health is up and down, so I need all the help I can get!

Home is a very special place and we all should have the choice to live in our own homes in our old age. By doing this we save the state thousand of euros by not taking up space in our hospitals & nursing homes.

Please deliver on your promises in the programme for government and support older people's rights to live well at home

My grandmother who is 99 is cared for at home by my parents. I don't think she would still be alive if she was in a nursing home as it takes a very long time to feed her and she is the middle of all her family. Things are that important for home care and to enable older people to stay at home longer are support for families, respite, carers allowance, aids and appliances, mobile chiropody services and regular public health nurse visits.
