Dr Casey ‘should be asked back to jubilee’

DISGRACED Bishop Eamonn Casey should be invited back to Galway next weekend to attend a jubilee Mass which will celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Pope’s visit, according to the city’s deputy mayor.

Pádraig Conneely said Casey should be invited to Sunday’s event as he was the primary organiser of the Youth Mass which attracted over 250,000 young people to Galway Racecourse in September 1979.

Sunday’s Mass, also at Galway Racecourse, is set to attract several thousand people, and Mr Conneely said it is wrong that Bishop Casey has not been invited.
