THE 12TH CENTURY shrine of St Manchan that was stolen yesterday has been recovered by Gardaí in Co Offaly.
The religious artefact, described as ‘priceless’, was stolen from St Manchan’s Church in Boher shortly after 1.30pm yesterday afternoon but was located near Doon in Co Offaly this evening.
The artefact is being held at Tullamore Garda station and will undergo a forensic analysis, Gardaí say.
Two men, both in their 30s, who were arrested in connection with the disappearance of the shrine have been released from custody today.
