Monks in pub for a preach and a pint

THE Moyross monks are planning to spread their message to the wider Limerick public by going to a city centre pub.

The five Franciscan Friars of the Renewal, who have been working in the troubled northside estate since July 2007, will talk at a Speakers’ Corner open forum at the White House pub in O’Connell Street on May 17.

On a visit to the pub yesterday, when asked if Brother Shawn O’Connor would have a pint on their upcoming visit, he said: “Who knows. I’ll see.”
