Couple say they applied on May 16th and ‘can’t understand why people are being so unhelpful’

The mother of a “miracle baby” says dreams of uniting the toddler with his grandmother for the first time could be destroyed within days because of a months-long delay in issuing his Irish passport.

Yin and her partner, John Ruddy , from Dublin, say they applied for Cillian’s passport on May 16th, a week after Cillian was cleared by medics to fly. “Cillian is our first and only baby. He’s an IVF baby. He’s a miracle baby,” says Yin. “John and I have been together since university and we are both 40 now. With all the complications during the pregnancy, it has been a hell of a year.

“I can’t believe now it might not happen. The passport office said it takes up to five working days to deliver to the UK once the passport is issued. So we are looking at a situation where if it is not issued by tomorrow, that will be it really. “The passport office’s attitude to this whole thing has just added insult to injury. I can’t understand why people are being so unhelpful.”

“He is massively stressed. It is his mum we are going to see. Basically he is desperate to introduce his baby to his mum. It is just so hard to describe the anticipation because of what we have been through.
