Appeal for summit to tackle violence

A SUMMIT of community leaders is urgently needed to tackle the scourge of violence in society, the Archbishop of Dublin said last night.

Dr Diarmuid Martin was speaking at a prayer service in Drimnagh in memory of two Polish men murdered in the area on February 23.

The event in the Church of Our Lady of Good Counsel was attended by President Mary McAleese, Justice Minister Brian Lenihan and Minister of State Conor Lenihan. The Taoiseach was represented by his aide-de-camp.
