Money was stolen while furniture and electronics were damaged.

A Presbyterian Church in the midlands is appealing for donations after being subject to its second break-in in 16 months.

The Congregation in Tullamore suffered damage to the building and furniture in the latest incident, which occurred over the weekend.

The cameras were also smashed, and cash was stolen from locked areas.

In an online fundraiser, the Church says those responsible gained access by breaking open a gate and smashing a rear window.

It's asking for assistance in raising €3,500 to make up for the damage caused, and has received over €2,500 in donations already.

Anyone who wishes to make a donation can do so here.

Reverend William Hayes says they know the cameras were ripped off the wall at 6.23pm on Saturday evening.

The Church is asking anyone who was in the area of High Street in Tullamore at that time and may have seen anything unusual to contact Tullamore gardaí.

The Minister says that whatever the motivation for the crime, he's happy to help the person involved if they want it:
