Colette O’Shea looks after husband Kieran who has frontal lobe dementia and motor neuron disease

Stoic and upbeat she said the surprise award felt like a dream after coming to terms with the health of her husband whom she had been with since they were teenagers.

The children’s school Lisnagry NS in Limerick has started a GoFundMe page to raise money for the family as Kieran’s condition deteriorates. Four other carers were honoured at Thursday’s awards. Hugh Hilliard from Clara, Co Offaly was named Leinster Young Carer of the Year for looking after his sister Ellen following the death of their mother in 2020. Ellen has autism and requires significant support.
