Burglar tried to rob wheelchair-bound woman

An attack on a 54-year-old wheelchair user in her home on St Patrick’s night is being investigated by gardaí.

Bernie Griffin was forced to endure a frightening ordeal after a man broke into her home and tried to forcibly take money from her.

However, she refused to give him anything and he fled out the back door, escaping over a back wall from the house at Courthouse Lawn, in Listowel, Co Kerry.
