No answer as disabled woman calls 999 for help

A DISABLED Limerick woman told yesterday how her 999 calls for help went unanswered while she and her daughter were being attacked in their home by an intruder.

The phone rang out as many as six times before the attacker grabbed it from Ann Thuillier.

However, minutes later when the intruder left her bedroom, she rang the other emergency number, 112, using her mobile phone. This was instantly answered and the gardaí alerted.
