Family Carers Ireland has said it looks forward to seeing how the Government will deliver on the promises made to family carers during the last election campaign and in the Programme for Government.

Reports of increases to the Carer’s Support Grant and further easing of the means test for Carer’s Allowance are positive signals. However, family carers want clarity on how these initial steps will form part of a clear roadmap towards the full abolition of the means test and meaningful progress on respite.

On Thursday's Morning Focus, Alan Morrissey spoke to Fiona Hartigan, Carer Supports Manager with Family Carers Ireland and Sinéad O’Brien, Netwatch Clare Family Carer of the Year 2023.
