‘Hopes and prayers’ for Brexit solution

Ireland’s bishop tasked with dealing with European matters says that people are “hoping and praying” that developments with Brexit serve the common good.

Speaking to The Irish Catholic, Bishop Noel Treanor of Down and Connor said that various Church initiatives show how much concern there is around this issue.

“On the basis of the initiatives launched by Church leaders to promote dialogue between political parties, MLAs, components of civil society, and the Churches themselves, one can say that there is great concern and that people are hoping and praying for an outcome that will serve the common good,” he said.

“Personally I trust that the eventuality of a no-deal outcome can be avoided,” he added.
