It's claimed there's a "pep in the step" of priests in the Diocese of Killaloe as three new vocations have been recorded. For just the second time in 20 years, three men in this Diocese will be entering the seminary at Maynooth later on this month. One candidate is from Tipperary while the remaining two are from Clare - with former Ennis Fianna Fáil Councillor Mark Nestor among them. Principal of St Flannan's College and Vocations Director for the Diocese of Killaloe Father Ignatius McCormack believes while vocations have been falling, the support for the church in Clare has never wavered.
