Motion from Councillor James Humphreys: loneliness and social isolation. AI110416
Meeting: 12/10/2026 - County Council (Item 33.)
Councillor J. Humphreys - European Commission's EU-Wide Loneliness Survey
“That, noting the findings of the European Commission’s EU-wide Loneliness Survey, which found Ireland had the highest reported level of loneliness in the EU, with more than one in five people saying they felt lonely most or all of the time, that the Chief Executive prepares a report on what Fingal County Council is currently doing to help tackle loneliness and social isolation, the report should bring together the work already being done across Community Development, Libraries, Sports, Arts and Culture, Parks and Open Spaces, Age Friendly and any other relevant areas of the Council, it should also look at whether better co-ordination, better signposting or small changes to existing services and programmes could help people connect more with others, including possible links with Social Prescribing and other referral services, and that the report be presented to the Community Development SPC within 6 months so that Members can look at what is already being done, identify any gaps and consider what further practical steps could be taken.”
