Good luck long overdue for family

PATRICK CAULEY and his wife Julie are long overdue a run of good luck.

The couple, both of whom suffered physical and sexual abuse while in institutional care, fled from their home and now live in a caravan on the side of the road with their five children.

They have no running water, no toilet facilities or electricity. The family say they were forced out of their two-bedroom council house in Limerick city last June by drug users, joyriders and thugs who exposed themselves to their daughters and turned on them when they complained about the noise and the disruption.
