Carers’ concerns: pleas for help at launch of information pack for carers

MARGARET CULLEN had to make five attempts at making herself heard at yesterday’s launch of a new information pack for carers.

The 84-year-old woman, from Balbriggan, Co Dublin, suffered a stroke five-and-a-half years ago and has Parkinson’s Disease.

On her fifth attempt she succeeded in having heard the letter that her son and full-time carer, Martin, read out on her behalf.
