'Every Picture Tells a Story' exhibition shares snapshots of family and caring

As an exhibition launches at IMMA to celebrate the dedication and sacrifice of Ireland’s carers, Helen O’Callaghan talks to two carers – one in his 60s, the other a schoolgirl – who give everyday without counting the cost.

Jeremiah O’Donovan’s wondering how it’ll all work out. His 86-year-old mother, Lucy – legally blind and with glaucoma – has an appointment in CUH eye clinic on Monday. And she has a podiatry appointment at 2pm the same day in another part of Cork City.

Hopefully, Lucy, who has diabetes and who hasn’t been to the eye clinic since before the first lockdown, will get through her first appointment in time for the next.
