Bishop launches search to find Ireland's most popular hymn

'I always enjoy the Ploughing,' said Denis Nulty, Bishop of Kildare & Leighlin. 'It is important for the Church to have a presence at this unique event and our diocese always has a busy stand whenever it is held in our locality.' File picture

The search to find the country’s most popular hymn is on, with people from all over the country being invited to have their say. 

Organised by Bishop Denis Nulty of Kildare and Leighlin, the diocese previously organised competitions to find Ireland’s favourite poem and the most popular prayer. In 2019, the 'Hail Mary' was voted the most loved prayer.
