Mum of two pleads with Limerick council for secure accommodation

A single mother of two has pleaded with Limerick City and County Council to help her secure accommodation after she lost her job and home after developing medical complications in pregnancy.

Cally Ryan, 30, her baby daughter Harper, and son Leon, 7, initially spent three months living out of a friend’s car, and have been sleeping together on her mother’s couch for the past five months.

With her daughter due to celebrate her first birthday on Saturday and her son returning to school next month, Ms Ryan begged the council for help.
