Sir, – Further to “Dublin to finally get a Catholic cathedral – but it may be on the southside” (News, June 22nd), instead of the Catholic Archbishop of Dublin wanting to establish his own chair of authority in St Andrew’s Church, Westland Row, surely he could negotiate with the Church of Ireland to share Christ Church Cathedral as their common home, which it was in pre-Reformation days. – Yours, etc,

New Irish citizens: ‘I hear the racist and xenophobic slurs on the streets. Everything is blamed on immigrants’
Jack Reynor: ‘We were in two minds between eloping or going the whole hog but we got married in Wicklow with about 220 people’
‘I could have gone to California. At this rate, I probably would have raised about half a billion dollars’

Sir, – Regarding the change of use of Dublin’s pro-cathedral, I note that the archbishop “consulted with the Council of Priests”. He certainly didn’t consult with the laity about a scheme which, I presume, will be funded by their money. (Rebranding anything takes money these days).
So while people leave the church in droves, women continue to be ignored or patronised and important social issues are also ignored.
Deckchairs and the Titanic come to mind. – Yours, etc,
