Cork family who lost their home in a fire celebrate return to refurbished household

On December 12, 2017 Mary Gore from Mallow, Co Cork, was left without any of her possessions after a fire at her home in College Wood. Her husband Chris had passed away of cancer at Marymount Hospice in Cork just weeks earlier.
Mary told The Neil Prendeville Show, on Cork’s Red FM, that she was shocked when she received a phone call that her house was on fire, whilst at the local school for a Christmas performance involving her children.
