Thieves appeared to target the shop’s more expensive items

Thieves have escaped with jewellery estimated to be worth more than €100,000 in a robbery in Donegal town.

The robbers removed a panel to break in through the bathroom window last night at Cameo Jewellers in the Supervalu Shopping Arcade.

They escaped with a large quantity of jewellery, including gold chains and watches worth more than €5,000.

Owner Conor Williamson said that he believed the thief, or thieves, were professional operators.

He said they carefully targeted their selections, which they probably emptied into a bag.

Boxes were discarded all over the floor and the thieves left cheaper items behind.

Inspector Dennis Joyce said gardaí at Donegal town were asking anyone who may have noticed anything unusual in the area to call them on 074 972 0121.

NUIG’s Centre for Pain Research in Galway is looking into the issue of back pain.

NUI Galway is looking to recruit people with back pain as part of a trial programme at the university’s Centre for Pain Research.

The Pain Disability Prevention Programme is funded by the HSE and will take place in locations in counties Galway, Dublin, Donegal, Sligo, Mayo, Limerick and Cork.

The university is also hoping to encourage GPs and physiotherapists in these counties to refer suitable patients to the study.

Those involved will be offered a number of free sessions with a clinical psychologist, which will focus on physical and psychological methods to try to help the patient.

The researchers said they are specifically interested in people who have had back pain for less than 12 months and are either working less or not at all due to the pain.
