      How about he does something useful instead of magical thinking, donate some of that hoarded gold to help the homeless or something.

      Watched the long range weather forecast showing high pressure coming over the country for next weekend..

      “Better go ‘perform a miracle’ and pray for a dry spell”

      When you need another reference to show people when you’re telling them why this country is a joke

      It’s pretty sad that the agricultural sector can be so anti-environmentalism, and turn to priests when the weather isn’t what they want. We’re a bunch of hopeless cave-men is what we are

      Seriously – this can’t be the first time in Ireland someone has prayed for an end to rain? And what happened on the previous attempts…?

      Was listening to a discussion about this on the CountryWide programme on RTE radio last Saturday and a fair point was made. Farmers need to share their desperation at this point and the mass is a great place to come together and talk about everything – remembering many are isolated much of the time.

      It’s a tough run for the farmers and I genuinely do feel for them, though it’s a difficult one to square with the fact that as an industry they’re largely anti-climate action.

      I fully get it’s a really complex topic though there really has to be some thinking long term rather than just “let’s see if the priest can fix it”. Times change and it’s not totally insane to expect that farming will have to change with it, particularly since they’ll consistently be on the front line for climate change impact.

      Very conveniently just as the weather forecasters predict an area of high pressure and no rain for the next few weeks….

      But of course it was the Bishop who did it…
