Founded in September 2010 the ACP has at present over 1,100 members, which comprises over 30 per cent of all Irish priests, and regards the appointment of an Administrative Secretary as an important step in providing an effective and permanent infrastructure of representation for Irish priests.
Fr. Brendan Hoban, part of the ACP Leadership team, commented: “In six years since our foundation, we have established a strong presence among Irish priests and in the public forum. At this critical time for the Catholic Church in Ireland, it’s absolutely imperative that the opinions of priests be heard and we see this appointment as helping to bring the organisation and the structures of the ACP to a new level. We’re delighted that Liamy has agreed to be part of our team.’
Liamy MacNally, a freelance journalist based in Westport, Co Mayo, writes the De Facto column in the Mayo News. An experienced radio journalist, he has won several national radio documentary awards. He has contributed widely to national newspapers and radio stations. He also provides publication services for authors and has published 16 books under the CPR imprint. Liamy was ordained for the Tuam Archdiocese and subsequently married.
He takes up his appointment on 01 September 2016.

The World Day of Prayer for the Sick occurs next Wednesday, 11 February. Seamus Ahearne, reflecting on his own illness and hospitalisation, shares some very pertinent thoughts about the reality of illness.
“I couldn’t think. I couldn’t sleep. I couldn’t read. I couldn’t write. I couldn’t pray. I couldn’t talk (socially) I shut down. This different world took control of me. The ‘nakedness’ of the ward took over. I was institutionalised. The rhythm of hospital life absorbed me. I had no control over anything. “
Seamus also suggests that we in church could gain inspiration from the ‘teamwork’ he has observed in hospital.
We wish Seamus a speedy return to full health.
