This picture is worth more than a thousand words

This picture appeared on the front page of The Irish Times yesterday.

nun has been given nine months to find a new place to live and worship after a judge accepted she had made a genuine effort to dismantle a hermitage she established without planning permission in Co Cork.

The picture is an interesting story about Ireland today.
