Irish government barred military from involvement in Eucharistic Congress
CWN - July 16, 2012

Organizers of the Eucharistic Congress had asked for a military honor guard to take part in a procession through the city. Although similar requests have been routinely granted in the past, this year the government turned down the proposal.
