Vandalised religious statue restored to its former glory
The Our Lady of Limerick statue which is more than 400 years old and has survived the Cromwellian wars and the siege of Limerick was almost decapitated last year when vandals tried to pull it from its mounting at St Saviour’s Dominican Church in Limerick.
The religious icon was badly damaged after coming under attack from bottle-wielding drunks who put a rope around the neck of the statue in an attempt to pull it from its pedestal.
