| Annotation | Until recent years, Ireland has not formally responded to elder abuse. This article considers the recent developments in Ireland through an ecological framework which focuses on the multidimensional progress of Irish policy, practice and legislation related to protecting older people. The article outlines how since publication of the first Irish policy document on the subject in 2002, 'Protecting our future' by the Working Group on Elder Abuse (WGEA), that significant progress has been made. The article highlights areas for continued development and improvement. Although Ireland has no specific elder abuse legislation, generic legislation may be used according to the type of abuse that has been perpetrated. (RH). |
