Man ordered to leave nursing home

A MAN accused of abusing staff at a nursing home has been given until noon on Monday to find alternative accommodation.

The management of Abbot Close nursing home in Askeaton, Co Limerick, had claimed Jim Hourigan, 57, had caused continuing problems and alleged he had sexually abused one member of staff.

Last week Limerick Circuit Court gave Mr Hourigan until October 31 to vacate. But, following more problems, the nursing home came back to court. As a result, Judge Carroll Moran shortened the stay until next Monday.
