In September 2011, South Dublin signed up to the goal of becoming an Age Friendly County. In January 2012 an Age Friendly Alliance was established and is chaired by the South Dublin County Council Chief Executive. This Alliance includes representatives of agencies who are providing services to older people. Through their membership of the Alliance these agencies are committed to working in a creative partnership to improve the quality of life of older people in South Dublin.

The launch of the Older Persons Council and the Service Providers Forum took place in October 2012 and the South County Dublin Strategy was launched in November 2012.

South Dublin is now well into the implementation phase of its age friendly journey.
