The pope is going to Dublin but he's not coming to Northern Ireland

BBC Radio Ulster - The Nolan Show, The pope is going to Dublin but he's not coming to Northern Ireland

Are you disappointed that he won't be coming to NI? Would he be welcome?

So it seems that Pope Francis won't visit Northern Ireland this year. There'd been much speculation he might cross the border when he comes for the World Meeting of Families in August, but it has been confirmed by the Director of the Holy See Press Office that he will not travel north.

It's the first Papal visit to Ireland since John Paul the second's visit in 1979.

Are you disappointed that he won't be coming to NI? Would he be welcome?

Also on the programme, callers share their harrowing stories of physical abuse at the hands of teachers and unions claim it's 'vital' NI health staff receive same pay deal as England.
