Finian McGrath (Dublin North Central, Independent)

I wish to seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to raise a matter of national importance, namely, the urgent need to assist the 150,000 family carers and the need to support the Carers Association's nine point plan for a national strategy, needs assessment, medical cards for full-time carers, remuneration for full-time carers, income tax, training, work life balance, information and a national forum to give a voice to carers.
