The Carer: ‘I dread the budget every year – we can’t take any more cutbacks’
Since the ‘Age of Austerity’ began, society’s most vulnerable have been hit hardest.
Today, Independent.ie spoke to mum-of-one Heather Hogan.
Heather is mother of teenager David (16).
Shortly after his birth, David was diagnosed with cerebral palsy.
At the age of two, he was diagnosed with autism. In recent years, he has lost the sight in his left eye, with his remaining sight fading.
David needs care around the clock.
