A Co Wexford couple struck by tragedy in recent months are raffling off their house as they need a bigger space to accommodate their growing family.
Mairead and James Keane have lived in their home at St John s Villas in Campile since 2005 and now have four growing boys in the house, after Mairead s brother Christopher was left orphaned in the space of a few months.
Mairead is also pregnant and the couple set up their own business from base 18 months ago. In October 2019, Christopher s Mam passed away due to sepsis, it was very quick, and then last June Dad was diagnosed with terminal cancer and he passed away in September, so it was quite a shock to everybody, Mairead explained.
