In the same week that an extension of lockdown was announced, former Tanaiste Simon Coveney embarked upon a pointless multi day trip to Turkey.
Catholics were told to forget about letting one or two more people attend funerals when loved ones died.
Kids were told to continue being deprived of education.
Elderly people were told to sit in isolation rather than be visited by loved ones.
Yet for Coveney, a Jesuit educated member of the secretive Bilderberg group, this week was just the beginning of a world tour that started off in Turkey and which he hopes will bring him soon to Tehran and to Moscow.
Catholic Arena is the ONLY Irish website that has discussed this story. Only foreign outlets have also covered it. Considering Irish journalists have been camped near beaches and at airports trying to shame ordinary people for leaving their 5km radius, how did they miss this one? Now that we have alerted them, why are they still refusing to cover the story?
Could it be because they know that if they covered it, ordinary people would return to normal life as Simon Coveney clearly has?
