Dear Editor, I was glad to see our new nuncio has arrived in Ireland (IC 17/08/2017). Perhaps now the elderly bishops awaiting permission to retire can finally be replaced with some young bloods who can lead the charge of the mission of re-energising the Irish Church. And dare I say it, could we also maybe see some of the smaller dioceses amalgamated so we have a more realistic number of dioceses for the size of the island?
Yours etc.,
Deirdre Burke,
