The two Laois children have used the box to raise nearly €3,000 for charity.

An honesty box ran by two Laois children has been forced to close after its contents were stolen.

11-year-old Liam and 10-year-old Sophie Ellis from Durrow have raised nearly three thousand euro for Laura Lynn Hospice by selling eggs.
