A family in Portlaoise lost all their possessions in the blaze earlier this month.

A Go Fund Me page has been set up by a family in Laois after losing everything they had a house fire.

Niamh Finnerty is part of the campaign to raise money to help her sister Erin's family they lost their home after moving into the property in Maryborough Village in Portlaoise just last year.

The family escaped injury-free, and the family are now living in emergency accommodation.

Ms Finnerty says the damage was devastating:
