Eucharistic Congress may be slimmed down

Financial difficulties in dioceses and the country in general may involve slimming down the Eucharistic Congress.

Apparently, Bishop Fleming's financial committee have advised the Congress organisation committee that the final bill for the Congress will need to come in around the €9 million mark instead of €16 million. 

Organisers may have to scale down the ambitious event and the Croke Park finalé may be moved to the RDS.

In a statement Bishop Fleming said that €2 million has been raised so far.
