Let's do better than the indifference we showed during the Holocaust

The Archbishop of Armagh Seán Brady gave an interesting St Patrick's Day message recently.

"IT is also my hope that the recently announced forthcoming referendum to the Irish Constitution concerning the complex subject "of the constitutional right to Irish citizenship to children born on this island to parents who have no right of residence" and related matters, will be conducted in a tempered, compassionate and responsible manner."

It was a particularly appropriate message on that day on which people of Irish descent were celebrating their ancestry around the globe.
