Fine Gael unveils €140m plan to support carers better

MORE than 150,000 carers will be immediately better off under Fine Gael plans for increased financial support, party leader Enda Kenny claimed yesterday.

Launching a document entitled 24-7-365 yesterday, the party vowed to introduce a raft of measures if returned to government.

The title of the report refers to the reality that carers are on call 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and 365 days a year.
