The pandemic has brought unforseen challenges to all of our lives but one Midlands native is doing the Leaving Cert while also being a primary care giver.

17 year old Eoin Connolly is juggling both, along with playing hurling for Laois.

The Ballyfin teen - who cares for his 84 year old grandfather - has recently featured in the Electric Ireland Major Resilience ad campaign.

He admits it can be stressful, but says they have a great relationship and the family has a nice routine in place.
