    I entirely endorse Noel Healy's (23) observations. To take his analogy further, what would be the reaction of - particularly - Irish people if we heard that a serving officer of the Defence Forces was

    Father Flannery, from attending your retreats many years ago you taught me to have proper faith in God. You taught me not to fear God and you gave me strength in the face of adversity. I spent a large
