Over one million Trócaire boxes will be delivered to homes and schools across the country this week.

TRÓCAIRE last night warned charities faced constraints after the Irish organisation was forced to change an advertisement for its Lenten campaign.

The child sex abuse scandals that rocked the Catholic Church have proved a painful learning experience, a senior bishop said today.

Trocaire says, it has received around 55,000 postcards from this years Lenten campaign to highlight international slavery.
