On this episode our host Zoe Hughes talks to three family carers, all of whom are volunteers with the Care Alliance Ireland Online Family Carer Support Group, discussing key issues that they believe need to be researched. Topics include mapping of services, service gaps across age, disability and other sectors, and the impact of the menopause on caring. 

Guests – Lynn Ronan, Sinead Aylward, Tasha Quinn
