One eye-witness said: "I could see his brown Capuchin habit, I could see that as clear as could be, and he was standing on his side.”

Two women have reported seeing an apparition of the saint Padre Pio at a church in Limerick city.

The women, who are involved in a local prayer group which organised a mass to mark the 54th anniversary of the Italian saint’s death, claimed to have seen the apparition inside St Saviour’s Church last Friday.
