Cardinal Brady is unfit to remain in office, but it would be wrong if he was allowed to walk away from justice simply by resigning.

Seán, have you no conscience or shame?

I was surprised to see that Fianna Fáil director Micheál Martin has re-entered the entertainment business.

The ongoing vilification of Cardinal Brady seems to me to miss the point.

I’ve watched RTE reporter Tommie Gorman’s 18 minute interview on May 2 with Catholic Primate of All Ireland and Archbishop of Armagh, Cardinal Sean Brady, about when, in 1975, as a part-time 36 year-old-secretary to a bishop, he was the notetaker at a meeting with a young man telling his story of being abused by the most persistent of paedophile priests, Fr Brendan Smyth.

I applaud the Students Union who took the case of college maintenance grant cuts to the High Court and I question the judge’s decision and summing up of the maintenance aid needed to pursue a third level course.
