Has Patricia Ryan fallen victim to the Curse of St Munchin?

Back in the year dot, St Munchin was building his church in Limerick and locals refused to help. Strangers who were passing came to his rescue and the church was built.

St Munchin decreed, according to legend, the local in Limerick would never succeed or get recognition from their own for the way he was treated by his own.

Success has come in spadefulls for many Limerick figures, who time after time have been snubbed by their own.
