Bring Irish priests back home. They are sorely needed in our parishes

I am replying to an article in the Irish Examiner of September 30, by Father Brendan Hoban.

It was excellent. I stress two points from it, namely: (1) ordain married men (2) invite back priests who left the parish previously to get married.

This great shortage of priests should never have been allowed to occur. Where were our bishops at this time?
