Parishioners rally round after church vandalised

A close-knit Limerick community is fearful of further acts of vandalism after their local church was destroyed with paint and a derelict house was set on fire.

Trouble flared in Ballinacurra Weston at 2am yesterday after two wandering horses were impounded by the authorities.

It’s understood rocks were also thrown at Limerick City Fire and Rescue crews who were called to the fire at the derelict house.
