Brazen thugs broke into a church at a north Dublin convent inhabited by an order of elderly nuns in broad daylight on Monday.
The news was announced during 10am Mass in St Anne’s Church in nearby Portmarnock by co-parish priest Fr Jimmy McPartland, who informed worshippers that vandals had "desecrated" the sisters' place of worship, which is normally open to the public. A Garda spokesperson said: "Gardaí are investigating an incident of criminal damage that occurred at a Church in Seapark Hill, Malahide , Dublin on Monday 11th November 2019 at approximately 13.15pm.A parishioner from Portmarnock who often goes to the convent said: "The sad outcome of this is that those wishing to pray in the oratory at the convent can no longer do so freely.
"Fr Jimmy was visibly upset telling us about it at Mass this morning and the congregation was shocked to hear this distressing news. The deputy from Malahide told Dublin Live: "Any vandalism is bad but on a group of elderly nuns is disgraceful.
