The South Dublin team were delighted to take part in a Walkability Audit of Tallaght Village recently.

The Walkability Audit engaged local residents, disability advocates, older people, community organisations and service providers in a practical assessment of Tallaght Village using the Universal Design Walkability Audit Tool developed by the National Transport Authority.

The process gathered lived experiences from participants representing a wide range of ages and abilities, ensuring that findings reflect real everyday use of the village's streets and public spaces.

Deputy Mayor of Fingal, Cllr Gráinne Maguire opened Fingal OPC’s Annual Conference on Wednesday, 20th May 2026, at Kettles Hotel, Swords, with an attendance of 120 participants from across the county.

The aim of the Conference was to empower older people with practical knowledge and awareness of available supports to maintain independent living. A range of informative presentations were delivered throughout the day, covering key topics including personal safety, fire safety, fall prevention, online safety, and the home supports available to older people. These sessions provided practical advice and guidance to help attendees make informed decisions about their safety and wellbeing.

The Conference also encouraged engagement and peer learning, with opportunities to speak to presenters, visit information stands, and share experiences with others. Attendees left better informed, more confident, and reassured about the supports available to help them to continue to live safely and independently at home.
