    Hey!

    Would anyone know how you'd go about getting a list of convents, abbeys and priests' houses in Ireland?

    I'm at the end of my tether!

    Given the current climate I wouldn't blame them if they declined to give you a full list but instead offered to take your mailout and distribute it internally. I'd imagine the Catholic Church has some semblance of an internal mail system.
    Talk to your parish priest or possibly a bit higher in the diocese.

    Why are they so secretive?

    It should be as easy as phoning one gov dept. It doesnt matter why you want the info either.

    No one is being secretive. As a matter of interest what government department do you think would have that info to hand? :confused:. Do you think if I called up Department of Health and told them I'm planning a mail out to every GP's practice and private address they'd give me a list?
