Ireland's only children's hospice is launching a new 'at home' care service, at a cost of €800,000.
The Laura Lynn charity is to provide 50 families with respite and other care in their own home.
The scheme is being part-funded through a recent fundraising event organised by Today FM's Ray D'Arcy Show.
The service was launched today at Laura Lynn House by it's patron, TV presenter Miriam O'Callaghan.
