In papers and on radio

Miriam O'Callaghan, not of RTE fame, has an article about death in today's Sunday Independent. And BBC's Fergal Keane also has a piece in the Sunday Independent on death, where he refers to the demise of his aunt Mrs Mary Keane.

In Yesterday's Irish Daily Star Gerard Colleran writes in his column about comments made by papal nuncio Charles Brown.

All three pieces are well worth a read.

Marian Finucane on her show today referred to the 'mishap' at Aachen where the Irish equestrian team failed to win a place in Rio.

When talking about what the grounds official did she said: "it could happen to a bishop".

Surely that expression has lost its meaning?
