DIY SOS: The Big Build Ireland, 6.30pm, RTÉ One
In the third episode of this season, Baz and the team meet the Parsons family (above) in Longwood, county Meath, and set about building a much-needed extension to cater for their sons’ needs.
Glen, Jen and their two boys Ryan and Josh live in the village of Longwood, Meath. There are three members of this young family with additional needs and their small semi-detached home was no longer practical or functional.
Jen (37), initially applied to DIY SOS looking for help for her youngest son Josh (6) who, after years of investigation, was diagnosed with Smith-Magennis Syndrome, a severe developmental disorder that affects many parts of the body.
Josh is non-verbal, peg-fed and is in a wheelchair - he is unable to walk, crawl or sit unaided. Josh’s older brother Ryan (9) has autism and so has sensory requirements and needs his space and quiet time, which was very difficult for him to get in their original house.
Jen also has multiple health issues which are becoming increasingly debilitating and affecting her mobility.
