Heffernan, Michael R., Kilmurray, Kilmacanogue, Bray, seeking a dispensation from attending Mass on 29 June, the Feast of Saints Peter and Paul. Cardinal McRory had announced it as a day of National Thanksgiving to God for saving Ireland from war. He feels that it should be a day of humiliation and not thanksgiving as Ireland did not take part in a war on the side of good against evil.
