Caroline O'Sullivan is speaking out about her experience after a fire at her apartment complex in Portarlington.
A Laois woman who has been left homeless following a fire last Thursday says she's only been given a few hours to pack up her belongings.
Caroline O'Sullivan woke up around six am on Thursday morning to a fire in the Oaks apartment complex in Portarlington- and only had time to grab her handbag before leaving,
The 18 tenants are being given emergency temporary accommodation from Laois County Council for the next two weeks.
Ms O'Sullivan had been living in the complex for six years- and says it's been an emotional time for those living there:
