Lauralynn to benefit from annual Cannonball

One hundred and fifty of the world's finest supercars are revving up in Dublin's Merrion Square this morning, getting ready to set off on the annual Cannonball fundraising event.

The cars are due to depart at 10am where they will head for Belfast, followed by Galway, in a bid to raise much needed cash for sick children.

This year all money donated will go to Lauralynn, Ireland's only children's hospice.
