“ASTOUNDING” — that was the verdict of Malachy McCourt as he walked back into his family’s impoverished childhood, as depicted in Angela’s Ashes.

MAJOR damage has been caused during a burglary at the Frank McCourt Museum in Limerick.

THE Frank McCourt Museum in Limerick will feature in a St Patrick’s Day TV special which will go coast to coast in the US.

AS two books of condolence opened in Limerick yesterday for the late Frank McCourt, it was confirmed some of his ashes will be brought back and placed at the Old Leamy’s School in Harstonge Street which he attended as a child.
