Hero gran hailed for saving children

Three children sustained injuries in the Thursday night incident at the Waterford City home of Nellie Halligan, with one of them undergoing surgery for burn damage yesterday.
A local criminal gang is being blamed for the attack on the end-of-terrace home at Ardmore Park in the Ballybeg area of Waterford, which led to 11-year-old Roisin Halligan sustaining serious injuries to her face, neck, arms, and legs.
