A fundraiser has been set up on GoFundMe to raise funds for a Blessington.

According to the organiser, Nigel Moody, the Ruth Shine Dance School has been subject to 'a group of local teenagers causing immense fear to our children and the business.'

Ruth herself highlighted her situation while speaking to Eoin Beatty on Kildare FM Radio Station this morning.

All proceeds will assist with the purchase of a new entrance door and CCTV.

Nigel claimed that, during the week, the doors were kicked in and fireworks were thrown into the premises during a class.

He added: "Please go onto her page to listen to the very upsetting request looking for help from parents, but to be clear not financially.

"Bullies need to be stopped; it's time to help this very special attribute to Blessington."
