Mary Doran is Tipp Carer of the Year

A Newcastle woman has been honoured as Tipperary Carer of the Year.

Mary Doran gave up a career in Dublin to care for her uncle and 80 year old mother.

The Carer of the Year Award recognises carers nationwide who sacrifice so much to caring for their loved ones.

Mary will represent Tipperary in the National Finals in Dublin later this month – she says there are so many unsung heroes out there.
