The Daily PollTHE LAST TIME there was a papal visit to Ireland, more than one million people congregated in the Phoenix Park.
But how likely would a repeat of those September 1979 scenes be?
Pope Francis, arguably the most popular Pope since John Paul II, is currently doing the rounds in the US, sparking interest across the world.
Today, we’d like to know what would you do if he came to Ireland? So we’re asking:
Would you go to see Pope Francis if he visited Ireland?

Man i pray for Obama to win, Romney is sooooo old fashioned thats what the world needs! ThenI I heard that he is the most popular….well the States…..they don’t want modern open minded people!!
who runs the pole? Easy to rig
I watched the debate. It pains me to say it but Romney won. Obama was just too nice and never went on the attack. Hell, the chair Clint Eastwood questioned had more backbone!
jeasus.. I can’t imagine the agony of being crushed in the back of a waste truck… That poor chap must have died in agony.
but the Department told TheJournal.ie that it adopts a “careful and prudent approach” to spending taxpayers’ money.
Since when has any government department taken this approach to OUR MONEY.
Department for Jobs
New start up companies are scratching around for funding, 50% of Enterprise Ireland money goes back to the public sector through third level institutions, and now the department says they are being ‘prudent’. Do they not know that creating new jobs is inherently risky business. This type of funding needs to be taken out of the hands of public servants and given to someone who understands the notion of ‘RISK and RETURN.’
Wonder if this Department took as prudent an approach to salaries and expenses (to say nothing if consultants and experts’ reports)? Sounds like they’ve been sitting on their hands.
And here’s a thought. Maybe the money they haven’t spent on creating jobs could be put towards opening up some of those empty beds in hospitals so we could get people off these obscene waiting lists. Or would that make too much sense?
