I welcome the Pope's visit to Ireland this coming August. He is a very popular Pope and world leader. We only have to look to the other countries he has visited to see the excitement that has generated and what can be in store for us. The possibility of his visit was first proposed by Senator Norris in this House, and I also proposed it when I was in the Dáil. I am glad that it will come to fruition. However, I would like his visit extended beyond the capital, beyond Dublin, and that he would visit the Knock shrine-----
