GALWAY PRIEST SPEARHEADS EFFORTS TO SET UP REPRESENTATIVE ASSOCIATION

Date Published: 28-Jul-2010

Galway priest Fr Tony Flannery is spearheading efforts to set up a representative association for priests.

The priests say they currently have no platform to express themselves at a time when relations between them and their Bishops are increasingly strained, and crucial debates are taking place.

Canvassing is underway in dioceses across the country to determine the level of support for the association.
