Parents who have been caring for their disabled children since birth are "afraid to die" because they don't know what will happen to their children due to the shortage of residential care places.
Angelina Moore has been caring for her son Edward since he was born 30 years ago. He is autistic, almost non-verbal and requires round the clock care in their Terenure home.
The 63-year-old mother, who's health has not been the best lately, lives in a HSE catchment area with 500 other parents - some of which are in their 90s - in similar situations applying for the same residential care.
