Nobody came to help nuns attacked on way to Mass
In a distressed state, Sr Pauline Clarke had to walk through O’Connell St to the Augustinian church, before she could raise the alarm, Limerick Circuit Court heard.
Sr Pauline, aged 76 and Sr Bernadette O’Driscoll, aged 79, were on their way to 10am Mass at the Augustinian’s, when they were pounced on from behind by heroin addict, Joe Roche. He grabbed Sr Pauline’s hand bag, before running off.
