The Church of Ireland’s Dean of Waterford has announced she will be stepping down in the coming months, vowing to be an “enormous thorn” in the side of the country’s religious leadership in her retirement.
Rev Maria Jansson said “screaming fundamentalists” have taken over parishes in the Church of Ireland and Roman Catholic Church but they will “invariably fail” as followers will inevitably leave.
Bigotry, homophobia and “supremacism” must be “called out and named and challenged”, Rev Janssen said.
“All of that is dysfunctional,” she told Deise Today on WLR, but “every empire falls, every dictator dies.”

How would you feel a return to the days of washing out and reusing nappies?!
A Meath-based councillor has highlight how a move from disposable nappies to reusable cloth ones not only has huge environment benefits but could save parents thousands of euro!
Cllr Deirdre Geraghty-Smith, a FF councillor, is calling for a Government support for a national reusable nappy scheme which would be local authority-led.
Currently, 600,000 disposable nappies are used in Ireland each day and it’s estimated that if people used even one reusable nappy per day, it would save 1,000 disposable nappies from landfill.
Speaking to Damien Tiernan on Deise Today this morning, Deirdre Geraghty-Smith said she was proposing modern cloth nappies, not the old terri-cloth nappies of old.

A former junior minister has called on the Bishop of Waterford to publicly address a controversy surrounding his views on the Covid-19 vaccine.
John Halligan has urged Bishop Alphonsus Cullinan to show his support for the vaccine and to encourage others to take the jab.
Bishop Cullinan has previously declined to give his views on the vaccine, describing it as a “personal matter”.
Mr Halligan said this week’s problems with the AstraZeneca vaccine, which has been restricted after concerns, makes it all the more crucial that public figures show their support for vaccines.
“I would urge Bishop Cullinan to come out to the people that support him, particularly the very many elderly people who would now be worrying a little,” the ex-Waterford TD told Déise Today.
