There was a very good turnout last evening for the Safety and Local Services information evening for senior citizens held in Kilcullen Parish Centre. Kilcullen based Community Garda Jon Brien and Annette Head and Tara Phibbs of the ALONE organisation gave very comprehensive presentations on security and the range of support services available to seniors.

Gda Jon covered everything from security in the home, vehicle security, and internet security, to fraud and scams, bank jugging and money mules. Tara and Annette gave an overview of the many support services that ALONE Ireland assist with to support people age at home safely and securely. 

Thanking the presenters for their information and their time, organiser of the event Cllr Tracey O'Dwyer also expressed her appreciation to all who had attended on a bitter, cold night. "One where it would have been much easier to stay home by the fire," she said, adding that anyone with follow up questions from the evening are welcome to contact her, Gda Jon, or Tara at ALONE.
