Activist calls on Ireland to accept refugees

Ireland must accept more refugees in the spirit of Mons Hugh O’Flaherty, the Killarney man and Vatican priest who saved thousands of Jews and others during the Nazi occupation of Rome.

That was the message from Columban missionary priest and human rights activist, Fr Shay Cullen speaking in Killarney at the weekend.

Fr Cullen also called for action by national telecommunications providers and by global internet server providers to tackle the “abominable crime” of child pornography.
