Protesters interrupted a mass at St Patrick’s Cathedral in Armagh on Sunday to “highlight the silence of the Catholic Church on the genocide in Palestine”.

In a live broadcast of the service shared on the parish’s social networks, around 30 demonstrators can be seen entering the cathedral with signs.

Speaking in a video posted online, one protester, Deirdre Murphy Linder, said it was a “group of cross-community Christians” who held a “silent and dignified procession at the end of communion” .

Following the protest, the priest at the service accused protesters of using the mass for a photo op.
