Carers Call For Additional Support In Pre-Budget Submission
Published 1 month ago
Description
Family Carers Ireland is calling for carers' payments to rise to 325-euro a week.
The organisation says an increase is needed in October's budget, to reflect the real cost of providing full-time care to a loved one at home.
As part of its pre-budget submission, the group is also calling for the means test to be abolished.
Fiona Hartigan, Clare Family Carer Support Manager, joined Alan Morrissey to take him through the Pre-Budget Submission.
