A woman who issued a plea for a permanent home so that her son could qualify to be placed on a waiting list for a liver transplant is to be housed on Monday.
Offaly County Council said it had been trying to secure accommodation for 25-year-old Helen Lynch, from Tullamore, for some time.
A spokesperson said the family would be homed in a three-bedroom house in Tullamore until permanent accommodation becomes available early next year.
Ms Lynch's six-year-old son, Charlie, was diagnosed with liver disease when he was one-month-old.
The child needs a permanent address before he can qualify for the organ transplant list for treatment in the UK.
He is due to travel to England for an appointment with doctors at King's College Hospital in London next week.
Ms Lynch says she has not been told when the property will be available or when she will receive the keys.
The mother-of-two said the local authority has said it must ensure the house is 'liveable' before it can be let.
She has been told the property will be checked by Offaly County Council staff on Monday.
