A Cork woman who was scammed out of hundreds of euro after buying fake Euro 2016 tickets has been given fantastic news today.

Emily O’Sullivan had spent more than €400 to go to the Ireland-Belgium match in France on Saturday week.

The single mum had planned to fly her family over to the football tournament in France.

Her two sons Darragh and Byron were to attend the football while Emily and her two daughter, Heidi and Izzy, were to have another day out.

But the website she booked with disappeared after the payment was taken from her debit card – leaving her without tickets.

“I worked long, hard hours to put this holiday together,” Emily said yesterday. “It is our first holiday in four years as a family.”

But earlier this morning the family were given amazing news on The Pat Kenny Show on Newstalk.

The show rang the O’Sullivan household to tell them that a generous listener had stepped in to save the day.

Listen as Pat tells Emily’s son Byron that an anonymous donor had arranged tickets to replace the ones they thought they had bought.

“Nooo?!” was Byron’s stunned reaction to the news that he would be going to the game after all. “Thank you so much.”

The unknown benefactor has donated kindly donated tickets not just for the two boys as originally planned, but for Emily and her daughter too.

“It was a treat for the boys,” Pat said. “But it’s a treat for the whole family know.”

“Oh my God, the excitement, Byron is actually crying here,” Emily said. “Thank you so much.

“Thank you to whoever out there was so kind.”
