ting these to the Carers Association Facebook page in support. On arriving at your Constituency Office a young women immediately came outside to ask she could help me. I replied that I was just taking a photograph. Her response was immediate....'This is private property, the Gards are on their way.' I left immediately and the Gardai, heading for your office with a number of Gardai in the car, did pass us as we left.
As you well know, I am one lone parent Carer who provides constant care to a very severely autistic young man and I note your intention to process a Private Members Bill to promote the rights of autistics. My placard read as follows.....
'My disabled son needs 24/7/365 care. I get 1 hour and 8 minutes help per day. I do ALL the rest, every day of every week of every year. Slashing the RESPITE GRANT is INHUMAN.'
We have no Garda cover here for large chunks of time due to cuts and yet a car-full can be mobilised instantly to protect your office from one carer of mature years with a placard.
I await your comments and please note that I have reported this incident in full to the Carers Association.
