Archbishop appeals for an end to ‘amoral’ violence

The Catholic Archbishop of Dublin has expressed deep concern at the level of violence in the capital after the gunning down of men in front of children.

Archbishop Dr Diarmuid Martin said a sense of public morality demands that voices are raised in a united way to express horror and rejection of the violence.

“No economic or no political aim can be achieved through such violence. It is simply amoral. Anyone who has the possibility to end such violence and to keep the perpetrators of violence away from their mission of death must assume their responsibility,” he said.
