McCourt museum damaged in burglary

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

The museum had featured on coast-to-coast television in the US on St Patrick’s Day.

Una Heaton who, with her husband John, developed the museum at the old Leamy’s School on Hartstonge Street — which the author attended — said yesterday she was devastated at the damage caused.
