Archbishop says politicians have neglected spiritual wellbeing of people

Archbishop of Armagh and the Primate of All Ireland Eamon Martin noted the experience of one cross-border parish that was having to adopt one approach for its two churches in Northern Ireland and another for its solitary church in the Irish Republic.

The leader of the Catholic Church in Ireland has criticised politicians for neglecting the spiritual wellbeing of people during Holy Week and Easter.  

Archbishop Eamon Martin has compared the differences in Northern Ireland to the Republic, saying an opportunity was missed for "cautious" gatherings to celebrate Easter.
