The receptionist who registered Health Minister Stephen Donnelly for his Covid vaccination two years ago is homeless and sleeping in her ten-year-old car.
And mum-of-two Lauren Masterson, 40, from Bray, has slammed the Minister, who is her local TD, for failing to respond to an email she sent to him last February seeking advice on how she could access help. Angry Laura said: "When Stephen Donnelly attended the Greystones vaccination centre I was working behind the front desk as a volunteer. I have a Bachelors degree in Nursing so I was anxious to do my bit to help."
"After the Minister was finished he told myself and all my colleagues we were heroes for helping out, yet now when I need his help he doesn't appear to want to know. I am 41 this week coming and that is how I will celebrate my birthday kipping down on the back seat of a car! I certainly don't feel heroic now."
