Clare People Urged To Nominate Local Family Carer For Lidl Family Carer Of The Year Awards

There are an estimated 15,736 family carers in Clare, many of whom quietly provide care every day without ever thinking of themselves as carers. With nominations for the 2026 Lidl Family Carer of the Year Awards closing this Friday, it’s the final opportunity to recognise one of those unsung heroes. Joining Alan Morrissey to tell us more about the awards, the realities facing family carers, and the importance of recognising their contribution was Fiona Hartigan, Support Manager with Family Carers Ireland.
