The head of the Catholic Church in Ireland has said he hopes the public comes through the coronavirus pandemic “as better people, strengthened by the experience. “As surely as Christ rose on Easter morning, we will come through this, hopefully as better people, strengthened by the experience,” he said. “But when Christ rose from the dead he brought back the light of hope into the darkness of despair,” he added. The archbishop said Easter is a reminder that people must not allow themselves to “robbed of hope”. Archbishop Martin urged the public to make sacrifices and “maintain the current restrictions in order to protect and save lives”.
