A survey found 94% are in favour of setting up the role to advocate for over 65s.
There are calls for an Independent Commissioner for Ageing and Older People in Ireland.
A survey of older people by Active Retirement Ireland has found 94% are in favour of setting up the role to advocate for over 65s.
The organisation says it shows the government isn't satisfying the needs of older people or properly planning for them.
Active Retirement Ireland's Alison Bough says a commissioner is already in place north of the border:
