Cardinal Daly seriously ill in hospital

ONE of Ireland’s most senior Catholic churchmen, Cardinal Cahal Daly, is seriously ill in hospital after suffering heart problems.

The 92-year-old retired cleric was taken from his home in south Belfast yesterday to the City Hospital’s coronary care unit.

Cardinal Sean Brady, his successor as the Primate of All Ireland, travelled from his home in Armagh yesterday to visit Cardinal Daly, who was born in 1917 and ordained a priest in 1941.
