Mother’s Day is one of flowers, cards and celebration, but it’s also a day that holds many different meanings for women whose paths to motherhood have been anything but straightforward.  

This morning, we’re bringing together three women whose experiences reflect some of the many forms that mothering can take in Ireland today.Joining Claire was Sandie Cassin - Foster Carer, Caitríona Nic Mhuiris, founder of Kinship Care Ireland and also Catherine Roster a single parent and full-time carer.
