Keith Barry was kind of right about the Book of Kells getting stolen

A copy of the book has been stolen from a church in Kells.

LAST WEEK, MENTALIST Keith Barry predicted a whole host of random events he thinks will happen, like a major oil spill, an Irish government collapse and the theft of the Book of Kells.

Well today gardaí told TheJournal.ie that one of Barry’s predictions has actually come true (sort of). A copy of the Book of Kells has, in fact, been stolen from St Colmcille’s Church in Meath in the last ten days.

Gardaí in Kells believe it went missing between 1 and 8 of November.

A garda spokesperson told us the copy of the stunning manuscript was secure in a glass cabinet which was not damaged during the theft. One of 100 copies, it is worth around €15,000.

Gardaí are appealing for anyone with information to call Kells Garda Station on 046 924 0999.

Now, which one of these is next?
