A young Fianna Fail councillor is to resign his council seat to join the priesthood, he revealed yesterday.
Cllr Mark Nestor, 30, is stepping down from Clare County Council and will start his ecumenical studies next week.
In an interview on Clare FM’s Morning Focus yesterday he said: “We often talk about God’s calling. It was no longer that God was at the door knocking. It was as if he was outside with a megaphone calling.”
