On February 20th 2022 at approximately 3.30pm Margaret (Naughton) and Tony O’ Shaughnessy Ballyhahill, Co.Limerick, discovered a fire in the attic of their family home.

Within minutes the fire was out of control and in a very short time the attic and roof were engulfed in flames.

Thankfully Margaret, Tony, Adam, and Evan escaped uninjured. Their other two sons Jack and Finnan were away in college at the time.

The fire services did their utmost to control the fire but due to weather conditions and the severity of the gale force winds of Storm Franklin, their home was completely destroyed. The family left with only the clothes on their back and watched their home and all their personal belongings go up in flames.

Funds raised will be used to rebuild their home.

All your donations are greatly appreciated.
