A fundraiser that raised almost half a million euro for a family in Killeagh after a series of tragic events, has been announced as Gofundme's number one earner this year.

On April 22, the Walsh family lost their home, and almost all of their possessions when a fire spread from an adjoining garage, and left the family of seven homeless.
