By John O'Mahony | National Development Manager
For the third year running Age Action will be installing carbon monoxide alarms free of charge for older people through our Care & Repair programme.
National Development Manager John O’Mahony is delighted to be able to provide the alarms again this year. “Our Care and Repair teams provide free DIY jobs for older people all year round. The people we visit are often living alone, with no family members to care for them. We aim to make sure they are comfortable and safe in their own homes. We are hugely grateful to Gas Networks Ireland for this donation of carbon monoxide alarms for our clients.”
Owen Wilson, Gas Networks Ireland said; “Carbon monoxide is a colourless, odourless gas that’s very difficult to detect so it’s essential that every home has a carbon monoxide alarm. Gas Networks Ireland is very pleased to be able to donate 4,300 carbon monoxide alarms to Age Action Ireland to help older people protect against the deadly gas.”
The alarms will be available from September to Care & Repair clients in Dublin, Cork, and Galway and through our Care & Repair community partners in other locations around the country.
