'I just feel my mother is being fobbed off. I don’t think it is one bit fair on her'

A 94-year-old mother and baby home survivor who raised more than €70,000 on GoFundMe to help buy her council house is still waiting for the sale to go through – five months after making a purchase application.

Chrissie Tully is the oldest known survivor of the Tuam mother and baby home, where she gave birth to two baby boys. Earlier this year, her son Patrick Naughton, who was adopted at birth and with whom Chrissie was later reunited, helped her to raise funds to buy her council home.
