Catholic bishops have expressed disappointment over what they describe as the failure by Taoiseach Micheál Martin to respond to issues raised with him at a meeting with him last month regarding public worship during Level 5 Covid-19 restrictions.

They discussed the impact of the pandemic on the lives of parishioners. In a statement issued today after a meeting of the Irish Bishops' Conference, they say that, despite assurances, none of the issues they raised have been responded to.

Police make arrest in carjacking following pursuit Tuesday

PHILADELPHIA - Police say they made an arrest in a carjacking that led to a wild pursuit Tuesday evening. The incident happened Tuesday at 5:30 p.m. when police responded to report of a man following his Mercedes Benz sedan that was stolen during a carjacking at gun point about a week ago. Police were able to catch up to the vehicle which was on the 4000 block of Aramingo Avenue. When police attempted to stop the stolen Mercedes Benz, the driver took off at a high rate of speed and refused to stop, according to officials. Officers continued their pursuit until the driver of that stolen vehicle got to the 4500 block of Richmond Street when the vehicle crashed, rear-ending a parked and unattended vehicle. At this point, the driver got out of the stolen vehicle and attempted to flee on foot.
