St Patrick would not be impressed these days

WOULD St Patrick be impressed if he came back to Ireland today? This seems a good starting point this week.

Would he be preaching boom or bust on property and what would he make of current sate of the stock market? For sure he would be pleased to see the immigrants who are starting to fill our churches again, and he might be reassured that his mission 1,600 years ago wasn’t in vain.

But he might rapidly regret ever having the dream that sent him this direction in the first instance.
