Locals oppose housing of burnt children

RESIDENTS in a well-off suburb are understood to be against the re-housing there of a family whose two children were badly burned in a firebomb attack.

Reliable sources in Limerick last night revealed the City Council had identified a home for the family following consultations with Sheila Murray, mother of Millie, 6, and Gavin, 4. But locals have objected.

The council selected the house after consultations with medical staff at Our Lady’s Hospital for Sick Children in Crumlin where the two children are still being treated for extensive burns.
