The challenges faced are; the right to life of the unborn and of the old and infirm is being attacked in the name of ‘choice’. The right of a child to a mother and father is being attacked by those who want to radically redefine marriage, the family and parenthood. Church-run schools are being condemned as ‘sectarian’ and demands are growing that public funding of them be ended. A strong attempt is underway to drive religion from public life and to place restrictions on the rights of religious believers to live by convictions. Catholic hospitals have been told they must perform abortions. The Iona Institute is the leading organisation in the country standing up to these challenges and provides a counter argument through conferences, talks, research, education and advocacy. For more information see www.ionainstitute.ie. K&M Plants Direct, Ballyhagen, stock a wide selection of bedding plants suitable for pots hanging baskets, planters and grave bowls.
