A new report has found carers are under pressure.
Family carers in the midlands can't get a break, and can't get any service.
That's the view Offaly's Mary Smyth, who cares for her 71-year-old brother and her daughter, who needs 24/7 care.
A new report from Family Carers Ireland in Tullamore has found 72% of carers have never received respite and 69% are finding it hard to make ends meet.
Ms. Smyth says trying to get help is very frustrating:
