Jennifer O'Regan says she has no-where to go as she waits to get on the housing list


Jennifer O'Regan says she is struggling to get help from the local authorities and she's in urgent need of accommodation for herself and her family who range in age from 15 to just 3 years old.

Her partner tragically drowned last year and is buried in Kilculley and she is parking up outside the graveyard every night as she has no-where else to go.. 
    
Jennifer says when she contacted the City Council she was made aware that she was in arrears on her rent on a house she had lived in over 10 years ago, she has agreed to pay back the local authority on a weekly basis out of her One Family supplement, but until she makes a number of regular payments the council cannot help her.. 

Speaking to RedFM News this morning Jennifer says, in the meantime, as she waits for a letter from the local authority to get her on the housing list, she has no-where to go with her children
