A judge has described as nasty and despicable a 20-year-old woman taking advantage of the charity shown to her by an elderly nun.
At Ennis District Court, Judge Patrick Durcan jailed Leanne Purcell of Seminary Court, Blackpool, Cork, and Ardcullen, Hollyhill, Cork, for four months for the robbery of €40 from the Sister of Mercy nun, Sr Anne O'Grady. Judge Durcan said: "This was a very nasty and despicable crime. It was activity of the vilest nature."

On the website of the Holy Selpchure (http://www.holysepulchre.ie/) there is a picture showing Judge Durkan. Broadsheet reports that the OP over on the other site says the judge allegedly said:
“we had, in the past, in this country a society where we recognised the tremendous contribution in education, health and charity on the part of the Sisters of Mercy.”
