€70k raised to save widowed father of five from eviction

Members of the public have donated more than €70,000 in a bid to save the family home of a widowed father of five from repossession.

Kerryman Ray Flavin’s wife Patricia died of a heart attack last January, leaving behind her husband and five children Aoife, 17, Caoimhe, 11, Oisin, 6, and four-year-old twins Fiachra and Bronagh.

This came after the family had been served with an eviction notice on their Ballybunion home.
