A family whose home in mid-Kerry was destroyed by a lightning strike is thanking people for their support.
The strike occurred in the early hours of Sunday morning at the Fenton-Toms' family home in Caragh Lake.
Due to increased building costs and general cost-of-living increases, the family's insurance won't cover the full cost of rebuilding their home; they’re underinsured by at least €75,000.

Friend Lyn Fenton, who's related to the family through marriage, says Joe Toms, Marie Fenton, and their four children are very grateful for the community's response, including donations to a GoFundMe page.
