The 43-year-old mother-of-two is still being treated for over 60% burns to her body after a thug doused her in an accelerant and set her on fire at the front door of her home in Oak Downs, Clondalkin, west Dublin, on Tuesday morning.

Now it has emerged this is not the first time the woman's family have been hit with tragedy - after she lost her brother a number of years ago in a brutal crash that saw his body badly burned.
