Carers in Tipp call for action in Budget 2017

The Government is being urged to live up to the election commitments it gave to Tipperary's 7,000 full time carers.

Family Carers Ireland has presented their Pre-Budget 2017 Submission where they highlighted the promises given by all of the political parties ahead of last February's general election.

Richie Molloy is area manager for Family Carers Ireland in Tipperary.

He says it's vital that carers aren't forgotten in October's budget.
