Foreign priests like Fr Kazimierz Nawalaniec will ensure Irish Catholics will be able to attend a full Mass in 15 or 20 years time, according to the Bishop of Cork and Ross.

Bishop John Buckley’s comments come after it emerged proposals outlining how lay people could hold Communion services are being circulated amongst bishops ahead of their October gathering.

The plans are a direct response to the ageing of priests and the vocations crisis.
