Over 15,000 euro has been raised for an Offaly grandmother who lost her home in a fire.

Olive Thompson from Annaharvey woke up last Friday to her dog Jill barking, with her home ablaze.

She is hoping to get out of hospital today.

Her family have launched a fundraising page in the hope that they can rebuild the home.
