Fairgreen Resource Centre Tinahely
About us

Fairgreen Resource Centre Tinahely provides a home-from-home atmosphere where older members of our community can relax, enjoy themselves and receive emotional and social support.

Dubbed the “Living room” by locals, we provide exactly that, a place where older people can be fully alive, be creative, have fun and continue making a real contribution to the development of the local community.
