An Bord Pleanála has only partly ruled in favour of an appeal by St Jarlath’s Diocesan Trust against lands that form part of Knock Shrine in Mayo being included on a map used to identify lands liable for the new Residential Zoned Land Tax (RZLT).

A programme to roll out public WiFi in Mayo towns has enjoyed great success among tourists.

Ireland and Liverpool FC legend John Aldridge visited Knock Shrine over the weekend to pray that manager Jürgen Klopp changes his mind.

Knock Basilica will be the perfect setting on Friday, December 1, for a beautiful evening of songs of faith, hope and love featuring Margo, Philomena Begley, Donna Taggart, John McNicholl, Marc Roberts, Una Nolan and Schola Cantorum Basilicae.

More than 1,500 pilgrims were present for the 12-midday Mass
