Older People's Parliament
The Northern Ireland Assembly represents and makes laws for everyone who lives here. It is essential that there are ways for all sections of our community to have their say, and that we provide opportunities for them to affect change. One of the ways we do this is through Outreach Parliaments which provide a platform for section 75 groups to engage directly with decision-makers and raise issues of concern.
