Blessed new song 'Homeless at Christmas' is highlighting the plight of families without a home for the festive period.

An Offaly band is releasing a Christmas song to raise money for a homeless charity.

Blessed's 'Homeless at Christmas' was written to highlight the plight of families who don't have their own home.

Proceeds from the track will go to Cope Galway which provides soup kitchens and warm clothes for the homeless.

Tullamore's Tony Cunningham says the birth of his son was one of the inspirations for the song:
