Mother of 10 in four-bedroom home wants council to house some of her adult children
By Brendan Grehan
A LUCAN mother of 10 is at the end of her tether and wants South Dublin County Council to come to her assistance and house some of her adult children.
Winnie O’Donnell lives with her husband, Martin and their 10 children and five grand-children in their house at Tor An Rí Lane, Balgaddy Lane, Lucan.
They have lived in the four-bedroomed house for the last nine years, but Winnie feels that it is now overcrowded and is a fire hazard.
Just before Christmas, due to overcrowding, Winnie’s daughter, Winnie and her two children left the house. Winnie Jnr bought a caravan with a loan from a moneylender and moved it into the front garden.
