An 11-year-old Dublin boy is said to be seriously ill after receiving burns when the tent he was in caught fire.
The boy, from Cooley Road, Drimnagh, was rushed to Our Lady's Hospital for Sick Children in Crumlin on Tuesday evening at about 7.30 p.m. when his tent became engulfed by flames. He was camping out in the back garden of a friend's house with two other boys when the incident happened.
