The Department has been contacted by some of the parties but has indicated this is a matter for the patron. I take the Deputy's point that he is asking the Minister to meet Archbishop Martin and obtain from him the request necessary for a transfer of patronage to take place. The Department has indicated it would review positively any request to transfer patronage in this case.
