Friends and neighbours of grandparents Susan and George Mulligan, whose home was extensively damaged by fire on St Valentine's Day, are rallying around the couple and have launched an appeal to raise money so that they can repair the house.
The couple, who had recovered from COVID-19 in December, had spent all their savings on buying the house in Muirhevnamor, which they had actually sold a few years ago to move to Kerry.
'It was something they wanted to do but it didn't work out so when the house came on the market again this year, they sold their house in Kerry and used all their savings to buy it back,' daughter Regina said.
