    Come on now, it's a load of nonsense. If I went around for a day looking for something that looked vaguely like Elvis I'm sure I'd find it somewhere. What about the neighbours.. How would you like it if a load of mad yolks and the parish priest turned up to say the rosary outside your front door? Rubber neckers driving up and down the road all day long for a gawk. It's crazy carry on, mad stuff.

    I would say someone had been a very naughty boy.

    I really wouldn't care either way. They have the right to believe what they like.

    It's hard to know who's worse, the people that follow this kind of stuff or those who obsessively rant about it

    If there's one thing the Judeo-Christian God does not like it's
    Idolatry. And Iconography...Two things. If there's two things He won't stand for it is Idolatry, Iconography and Graven Images...Three things....

    Is that not just condensation?!

    I'm pretty sure there's a grant to get rid of that problem.

    It's light bouncing of a strut. But try explaining that to these bog brained Murphys, you'd have more chance of getting a bl0w job from the Pope.

    That's a pretty weak show by an omnipotent deities mum to be fair. Seems to be a stain.

    Its a very sinister looking water stain in fairness. Looks like one of the lads out of Sunn O))) minus a guitar.

    Not the Catholic Church. And this isn't the Catholic Church.

    So the PP is encouraging this lunacy. Not surprised. A cynical move, drumming up business for Christmas.

    If the priest wasn't there to keep it real there would be some other nut-job there whipping the crowds into a frenzy.

    Limerick has a high population of travellers and travellers are particularly reverent towards the virgin Mary.

    Was probably Attila Csihar who they get for vocal duties on the LP's and some liveshows. I never seen them live myself, I'd say it was amazing alright, mate of mine seen them and he said it blew him away. I have to go see them. Maybe they might do a show in Limerick soon and this house apparition was the omen!

    That's the guy. He's actually playing Dublin with another band, maybe January. This whole thing could be an attempt at a viral promotion for Sunn O))) :D
