Yeah, um well Chiobne is the youngest of um eight of us.
Um my mum has very big family.
Um quite a character.
I was just saying to my mum before we came in here, if she was here, you wouldn't get a word in edgeways.
Claire, she would have taken over the show by now.
Um a great character, lots of fun, great crack, um loves her music, loves her drama, um and has done drama for a long time and really the center of my mom's life.
Um and and my mum's reason for getting out of bed every morning.
Um but a but a really, really lovely, lovely young woman that we adore.
Do you want to add
Yes.
Yeah.
And I guess one of the wake up calls I suppose we had as a family was when my mother was hospitalized two years ago.
Like it took the other seven of us to replicate what my mom does for Siobhan.
Um, you know, and I suppose the enormity of what she does was was really like the most obvious it's ever been to us.
But, you know, a lot of people talk about residential care and they talk about where somebody will live, but that really is only a very small part of it.
The other piece of it is is empowering her and enabling her life, the way that her life has been set up.
Siobhan has a job, Siobhan has a social circle of friends, Siobhan has activities, and Siobhan has a family.
And for many families that are in a situation where they're not able to care for their young adults, they're being moved really far away from their homes, which means they're losing their community, they're losing their jobs and their their cer their social circles.
And I suppose the campaign is about
raising awareness that this is a real crisis point.
