Out spiritual heritage goes into the skip

FAIR play to Cllr Noel Collins who is “carrying the cross” for Cork county council (Irish Examiner, April 26).

I’m sure I was not alone in being disgusted at the revelation that somebody involved in renovating the council chamber saw fit to throw a crucifix into a skip.

This unconscionable act of disrespect was compounded by the comments of Cllr Peter Kelly who objected to the reinstatement of the crucifix in the new council chamber.
