Really enjoyed “The Last Irish #Missionaries” on @RTEOne ; a 2-part documentary about the current state of Irish missionary work with interviews from missionaries and academics on the history of the Irish foreign missions. An Inspirational people now in their twilight years.

This is a mature move by ⁦@GalwayDiocese⁩. I hope that, a year after she bravely contributed to our @rte documentary, it brings some peace to Bishop Casey’s niece, Patricia Donovan, and his other accusers. rte.ie/news/2025/0719…
