DIY SOS | Series 2 | New Ross

Episode 1 of DIY: SOS The Big Build Series 2 will see Baz and the team help out the Aylward family.

Johnny Aylward lives in a rented home with his wife Lynn and their two sons, Daire (8) and Mikey (6). Last November, 56-year old Johnny was shockingly diagnosed with Motor Neuron Disease which in turn has made their rental home unsuitable for his imminent occupational needs. In addition to Johnny’s diagnosis, Lynn is also the full-time carer for their youngest son Daire who has non-verbal autism. With the support of Johnny’s three older children Kelley, Colin and Aaron, as well as Lynn’s young adult sons Cian and Aaron, who also live in the New Ross home, the entire family is keen to rally together during this difficult time. The family is seeking help from the DIY SOS team to provide long-term security and build a brand-new home in New Ross that will fulfil the accessibility needs of the entire family.

Episode 1 Series 2  aired Sunday, April 3rd on RTÉ One. It is available on RTE iPLAYER.
