Ahern to raise murder of Irish Vatican diplomat at Papal meeting
Mr Ahern will call for an international inquiry into the death of 58-year-old Archbishop Michael Courtney, Papal Nuncio to Burundi, who died in December 2003 when his car was ambushed by gunmen.
The minister has been granted a private audience with Pope Benedict XVI and Archbishop Goivanni Lajolo, Vatican Secretary for Relations with States, at midday on Wednesday.
