Gardaí up in arms over order to shift Sacred Heart

BLESS them Father for they have sinned. The boys in blue have blown the whistle on the Office of Public Works (OPW) after it took it upon itself to act as religious police.

The real law enforcers have been praying for divine intervention since an official from the OPW told them to remove a picture of the Sacred Heart from part of a garda station.

The official claimed it might offend non-Christians, especially as Ireland had recently become a "multicultural society". But as far as the Garda Síochána is concerned, there will be no moving statues, or pictures, after 20 members of the force signed a petition against the OPW order.
