The main event will be the visit by Pope Francis to Dublin, with events taking place in the Phoenix Park and Croke Park, but there will be a host of other vents taking place throughout the week as part of the Catholic festival.

However, two in particular have grabbed headlines in recent days, when the Vatican’s child protection chairman and the Archbishop of Washington cancelled their appearances.
