WAC venue change for Minister Josepha
Madigan after Mercy International Centre
threatened with protestors
WAC greatly regret the threats by protestors that led to Mercy International Centre
withdrawing the meeting room booked for Minister Josepha Madigan to address
WAC members on “Why the Catholic Church should open all ministries to
Women”.
The protestors appear to focus on the role the Minister played as Coordinator of the
Repeal the 8 th Amendment which was carried in May 2018. It is sad indeed that
protestors are personalizing their disappointment at the role played by Minister
Josepha Madigan in the referendum.
The meeting will now take place in a Dublin Southside Hotel on 11 February
2019.
