A call has been made for increased funding to meet the growing demand for the Alzheimer Society of Ireland's (ASI) Cork centre, which has around 200 people with dementia on a waiting list.
The centre offers day-care with activities, as well as home services and activities for under-65s with dementia or Alzheimer's.
