Council urged to remove crucifix in room

A holy row rumbles on over the decision by a local authority to hang a crucifix in its meeting room.

Atheist Ireland is to ask the Equality Authority to examine the placing of a crucifix in the revamped Kerry County Council chamber in Tralee.

Michael Nugent of Atheist Ireland has called on the council to take down the crucifix and explain why it was put up in the first place.
