Pair may hold clues to theft of church paintings

A man and woman could hold vital clues to the theft from a church of six valuable paintings depicting scenes from the Stations of the Cross.

The works, commissioned in 1946, were by stained glass artist Evie Hone and had hung in Ss Peter and Paul’s Church Kiltullagh, Athenry, Co Galway.

Gardaí have alerted auction houses in Ireland and Interpol has also been notified in an effort to prevent the incomplete set being sold off.
