This series of reports (30 to 42 pages), published every two years, examines the situation of caregivers in Ireland with a view to better understanding their experiences and needs.

For each report, some 2,000 caregivers living in Ireland were questioned — typically through an online survey — about their support needs, their mental and physical health, and the financial impact of caregiving.

The reports serve to bring the role and its impact to the attention of the media and public policymakers in particular.
