Relative tells of 'horrendous' tragedy that kills 10 in Carrickmines

The victims of a horror blaze which claimed 10 lives including five children may have been enjoying a “little do” before the fire broke out, a relative said.

Margaret Donohue, 35, from Lucan in west Dublin, believed her cousins and in-laws were having a gathering and may have fallen asleep before the inferno broke out at a halting site for travellers near Dublin on Saturday.
