Death of two nuns a ‘huge blow to the Order’

Both nuns were from Tipperary and were highly regarded among the leaders of the Presentation Order in this country.

Sr Imelda Carew hailed from Kilmore, near Dundrum, and was a former pupil, boarder, teacher, and principal of the Presentation College in Clonmel.

She was appointed provincial leader of the order’s south-east region a number of years ago, and was based in Terenure, Dublin.
