Grandparents sell up home to join family ‘Down Under’

Two Irish grandparents will “finally be living the dream” when they are reunited with their family for the first Christmas in 13 years.

Janet and Eugene Bennis sold their Limerick home earlier this year and emigrated to Australia to live near their four grown-up children and four young grandchildren. The couple said spending Christmas days away from their Brisbane-based family had become too painful.
