    Yes, I would love to be there too, two women I greatly admire. However, we are in Dublin this coming weekend and that probably rules out November.
    Very well done to those who made it all possible.

    Booked my ticket yesterday morning and there were just over 200 seats left so would advise booking ASAP. Looking forward to being in the company of both women. I have long been a follower of Sr Joan and have great admiration for the feisty Mary McAleese. Might not always agree with her but she has shown great courage and commitment to her faith in following her conscience which is well formed!
    There is a deep rooted misogyny in the RCC. Most of us recognise it in others but sometimes it is harder to see it in ourselves. I include women in that.
    Agree with Paddy, many thanks to Colm and the WAC team for arranging this.
