Almost 4,000 full time carers to receive a payment under the Carer's Support Grant this week.
That's according to Minister of State, Alan Dillon.
3,937 full-time carers across Mayo will receive the annual grant of €1,850 in recognition of the key role they play every single day.
The payment is available to all carers providing full-time care to an older person or a person with a disability, regardless of their means or social insurance contributions.
