Notes
'Give me a break' is the theme for this year's events to mark Young Carers Action Day. It has also prompted a new awareness campaign to recognise and support over 15,000 students trying to balance their studies with the responsibility of looking after a loved one at home. John Cooke was at the University of Limerick.
