Take a minute to enjoy this stunning drone footage of basking sharks swimming metres away from the shore in County Mayo. The footage of these harmless giants was captured by Shane Clarke near the village of Kilcummin last weekend.
Here’s the new wording, which replaces the sexist & demeaning ‘woman’s place in the home’ article. It’s called 42B. The wording is suddenly about Carers. The State sees Carers as those who look after the vulnerable & Ppl with Disabilities [PWD] (for instance, Carer’s Allowance)
Let’s begin with basic facts. Who are Carers? The best source is the 2022 census by the CSO
299,128 unpaid Carers
6% of ppl in Ireland are Carers
Between 2016-22 number of Carers grew by 50%+
61% Female [181,592]
39% Male [117,536]
