Cork woman had no phone coverage to call an ambulance for her toddler
There is no mobile phone service in the area where she lives and the young mother also has no access to a landline. Lucy Stephens said she and her partner have repeatedly asked the telecommunications company for a landline at her home in East Cork, due to the lack of mobile phone reception.
Their concerns came to a head when she discovered her young son convulsing on Friday. The mother of three boys found two-year-old Seán lying on the living room floor.
