Senator to swap lives with single mother

A politician plans to swap lives with a single mother, trading seven days in the Seanad for a week in her shoes.

A Spark (Single Parents Acting for the Rights of our Kids) campaigner, Ms Galgey juggles a part-time job and a college course alongside raising her three boys.

She issued the challenge to TDs on the Labour Party’s Facebook page and says it “snowballed” from there.
