THERE IS a touch of the masterly where the Catholic Church is concerned about the announcement that the 50th International Eucharistic Congress will take place in Dublin, in 2012. It gives a battered, bruised and demoralised institution here in Ireland a positive focus for the immediate future, while also allowing it to redirect its gaze from horrors past. To some extent, the next four years will see the first concerted attempts at rebuilding Irish Catholicism on an island-wide basis as it enters a post-scandal era.

ONE SMALL consolation about the predicted recession is that it could force a much-needed correction in the relationship between the women's fashion industry and the construction sector.
