December 14th 2007 Bishop John Crowley's farewell mass. Coaches are booked and people are encouraged to go in vast numbers. By all accounts a wonderful service for a much loved Bishop.

January 25th 2008 Bishop Terrence Drainey's ordination mass. Tickets are issued. Two per parish.

What's that all about then?

Perhaps Bishop Drainey wants to keep the numbers down so that his first act as Bishop can be to immediately evacuate the building and have it demolished?
