A mother had to rescue her two daughters aged two and four from a burning holiday home in Lahinch, Co. Clare, the Circuit Civil Court has heard.

Barrister Sharbee Morrin told Judge John O’Connor that the Flynn family had to flee the house at The Links Holiday Village, Lahinch, during a short St Patrick’s weekend break in 2018 after flames and smoke had been seen coming from the fuse box.
