On The Sabbath?

We asked would you go to a live gig on a Sunday afternoon?

You answered in your dozens.

Possibly, was the overwhelming response

The Rhythm Kings will, therefore, take to the stage upstairs in Stag’s Head, Dame Court, Dublin, on August 11 at 4pm and continue until 7pm.

It may change the way we view Sundays.

Boycott Mass. Pass it On.

Admin at 4:07 pm July 18, 2013

Further to the news that the four religious orders that Martin McAleese investigated – the Mercy Sisters, the Sisters of Our Lady of Charity, the Sisters of Charity and the Good Shepherd Sisters – are refusing to contribute to the Magdalene Laundry redress scheme, which is estimated to cost €58million, the Magdalene Survivors Together group is calling on Catholics to boycott mass.

RTÉ reports:

“Irish Catholics have been urged to boycott weekend Masses in protest at the refusal of the congregations of nuns which owned Magdalene laundries to contribute to the redress fund for survivors of the institutions.”

“The call has been made by the Magdalene Survivors Together group which also accuses Taoiseach Enda Kenny of siding with the orders on the issue.”

“In a statement, the group’s spokesman, Steven O’Riordan, said survivors need the public’s support because the Government is “totally out of its depth”.

“He also called on ministers to exempt the women from the Statute of Limitations so that they can sue the four congregations concerned.”
