The family of Tom Ross who tragically died in a fire last weekend have asked the public to be wary of a fake fundraiser page.
Tom Ross, a well-known builder and developer with his sons, was killed when the chimney section gave way at around 8am on Saturday morning at a premises on Ashe Street in Tralee, Co Kerry, during renovation works.
Mr Ross' funeral mass took place on Tuesday - with the family forced today to clarify a fundraising page set up on Wednesday has nothing to do with Tom.
Speaking on Radio Kerry, the Ross family said the Facebook page, which uses pictures of Tom, is nothing to do with them and not to donate.
The whole community is still reeling after the tragic death of the 68-year-old.
Sinn Fein TD Pa Daly knew Mr Ross, who built his first house and solicitors office on nearby Rock Street.
He said: "He was a giant of a man, a big man, very well known for his strength.
"Often known to lift steel bars that nobody else could lift up to get them in place, he had a very hands on approach. But mild-mannered as well.
"When I was building my house he gave me a break on the length of time I had to pay him, there was no problem.
"He was a very very decent fella to deal with."
