Woman Dies In House Fire In Co Fermanagh

A woman has died in a house fire in County Fermanagh.

Emergency services were called to a bungalow at Coragh Road on Sunday, where the 54-year-old's body was recovered.

It is believed the fire was started accidentally.

Sinn Féin councillor Barry Doherty said: "The family whom I know, are very well thought of and respected in Kinawley and I hope they take some comfort from the support of their friends and community as they attempt to come to terms with the tragedy that has come their way.

"My thoughts and the whole community's thoughts are with them."
