Two young girls have been praised for their quick-thinking after a family avoided fatalities in a devastating house fire.
The Kenneally family from Mullinavat, Co Kilkenny, all managed to get to safety before their house was destroyed by fire overnight last Thursday thanks to the actions of their daughter and her friend who were having a sleepover at the time.
The incident happened in the early hours of Thursday morning when their eldest daughter Anna, 11, woke them to tell them of an impending disaster outside.
