A fundraiser for a Cork family whose home was destroyed in a blaze and are “living through a nightmare” has raised nearly a quarter of a million. 

It was established by their local GAA club after the Walsh family in Killeagh lost their home and almost all their possessions when a fire spread from the adjoining garage on April 22.
