We must value those who 'care' as much as those who become a billionaire - President pays tribute to Peter McVerry Trust

Caring professionals, not just billionaires, should be valued according to President Michael D Higgins.

"People who talk bewilderingly about how they are about to move on to become billionaires, from being millionaires, I'm sure they're very interesting people, but the fact of the matter is, people who are actually delivering care, the social workers are important, the psychological workers [are important], the wonderful people who say: 'I'm going to give a period of my most valuable time and listen to people and allow people to talk [are important]'," said President Higgins.
