It has reached to archbishops and cardinals - might it also reach to the Pope Himself?

A PRIEST who died after driving his car into the sea will be buried today in the grounds of the church where he was parish priest for the last seven years. Fr Michael O'Grady, 58, will be buried on the grounds of St Michael's Church in Tubber, Co Clare, two days after he drove off the pier in Liscannor.

The priest left the village, located just five miles off the main Limerick to Galway road in North Clare, for the last time on Thursday morning. He had just finished celebrating the 9.15am mass in his church.

He left Tubber before 10pm and drove his silver Toyota car to the coastal village of Liscannor. His car was seen plunging into the sea one hour later.
