FORMER lord mayor Joe O’Callaghan has made a call for the banning of the burka and of the hoodie.

WITH the publication of the Cloyne report we can say, yet again, that the behaviour of the churches and the orders, and of previous governments and others thus far has left so much undone that needs to be done with regard to the honest appraisal of the realities, with regard to the nurture and protection of children and with regard to confronting this terrible behaviour pattern that has blighted so many lives for so long.

WITH regard to Right of Place, we are seeing a problematic lack of transparency similar to that of the Catholic Church bureaucracy, past Irish Governments, and others involved in the residential schools horror story.
