Family Carers Ireland: Government Failed To Deliver On Any Of 34 Commitments Made To Family Carers During First Year In Office

A new report from Family Carers Ireland has found the Government has failed to fully deliver on any of its 34 commitments to family carers in its first year in office. The charity says, in some cases, supports have actually worsened—with growing delays for assessments, reduced access to services, and increasing pressure on families already stretched to their limits. To discuss the findings and what they mean for carers here in Clare and North Tipperary, Alan Morrissey was joined by Care Support Manager Vicky Ward.
