Thomas Connors, the four-year-old boy who survived the Carrickmines fire, is being released from hospital tomorrow.

The youngster lost his parents, two brothers and his baby sister in the blaze.

His family are among the 15 people who remain homeless following the devastating fire 10 days ago.

Temporary accommodation has been arranged for the next two nights, while talks about providing a temporary halting site for the survivors are continuing this evening.
