The Irish Catholic newspaper

is currently available in Ballinderreen Church and St Joseph’s Church, Kinvara. However, very few copies are being purchased. This paper reports many items of interest on faith and Church matters. However, perhaps the availability of such news on the internet means that sales in these parishes have declined. The paper will remain on sale for a few more weeks, but if sales remain very low, numbers ordered will be cut back or even cease to be sold at the Churches here. The Irish Catholic is available, in any case, in Costcutter in Kinvara.
