Description

Despite any excitement when it comes to the potential for snow, this upcoming cold snap can have serious effects – especially on older people. ALONE, the charity that helps older people age at home, has called for older people to seek all available supports during this period.

Joining guest host Adrian Kennedy to discuss is Sean Moynihan, the CEO of ALONE, and to give an update on what we should expect from the weather is Joanna Donnelly, Met Éireann Meteorologist.
