GARDAI are appealing for information after an elderly woman was threatened and robbed as she attended a removal service in the city centre.
The woman, who is aged in her 80s was approached by a man as she was standing outside a funeral home at Gerald Griffin Street. The incident happened at around 10.30 last Saturday morning.
According to gardai, the man demanded money from the woman before taking a number of items from the pocket of her zimmerframe.
