My day with the new Bishop of Limerick

He quotes Bono, goes to the gym, and listens to Spin FM. Roisin Burke meets Limerick’s top cleric

MY DAY with the new Bishop of Limerick starts with a cup of percolated Lavazza coffee, and a game of Who’s Who with a recently recovered picture of Bishop Leahy in his youth.

His house is modern and spacious, in a suburban Limerick estate. There is nothing here which screams ‘grandeur’ or looks ostentatious in the room — the emphasis seems to be on comfort and practicality.
