Ex-nun rejects €75k award for being wrongfully convicted of raping girl

The High Court has heard Nora Wall, the former nun wrongly convicted of raping a 12-year-old girl, has turned down an offer of €75,000 by way of compensation.

The 65-year-old is said to have rejected the offer as insufficient and is now seeking aggravated damages against the State over the Director of Public Prosecution's decision to bring the case to trial.
