Clergy and Friday trading concerns

Summary

Senator Leyden comments on Bishop Walsh’s willingness to address controversial issues and argues that Friday trading is not the most important problem facing the trade.

The comments made by Bishop Eamonn Walsh in a letter to The Irish Times are interesting. He has the courage of his convictions, and it seems to me that many senior clergy are reluctant to get involved in any controversial issue.
