Urgent: Bray mum with 2 children with additional needs facing eviction needs housing now
We are asking Wicklow County Council to provide immediate emergency accommodation for this family, to ensure that any accommodation offered is suitable for children with additional needs and to engage directly with the family to prevent them entering homelessness or being placed in accommodation that is not suitable for children with additional needs.
This is an urgent situation. No family, especially one with vulnerable children, should be left without a safe place to live.
We urge Wicklow County Council to act now.

Why is this important?
We are calling on Wicklow County Council to urgently provide appropriate emergency accommodation for a Bray-based mother and her two children with additional needs, who are now just days away from eviction.
Recent reporting in the Bray People has highlighted the family’s situation, including the imminent loss of their home and the significant challenges they face in meeting the needs of two children requiring additional care and stability.
This mother has lived and worked in Bray her entire life and is well known within the local community, making this situation all the more distressing for those who know the family and understand their circumstances.
Facing homelessness is distressing for any family, but it is particularly critical in cases involving children with additional needs, where disruption can have serious impacts on wellbeing, routine, and access to essential supports.
We recognise the pressures on housing services, but situations like this require immediate and compassionate intervention.
