Six nuns to be exhumed for burial in Limerick headquarters
The nuns were from the Little Company of Mary — also known as the Blue Nuns due to the colour of their habits. The Fermoy order looked after the ill and underprivileged for nearly a century.
They came to the town primarily to look after patients at St Patrick’s Hospital, the running of which was taken over by the Southern Health Board (now HSE South) some years ago.
