FG TD claims carers are target of ‘an all-out assault’
Fine Gael TD Catherine Byrne warned that carers have become the target of “an all-out assault” that is “undermining the extremely valuable work they do”.
And highlighting her own “personal experience” of the situation, she said that on a recent visit to her brother — who cares for her mother who suffers from senile dementia — she was told by a district nurse that incontinence sheets were not available because they are a “fire hazard”.
