Tutu advises Irish on downturn

Archbishop Desmond Tutu has urged Irish people to put our current economic difficulties into perspective.

Speaking on a visit to Dublin, the Nobel Peace Laureate said Ireland has been doing a great job in wanting to share our bounty, but it seems that some people have been a little greedy and selfish.

Archbishop Tutu said it is important to remember that although we are going through financial difficulties we are still so much better off than those in some other countries.
