A pilgrimage director has dismissed claims that pilgrimages to Lourdes will be detrimentally affected by Britain’s withdrawal from the European Union.
John Tangney, director of Tangney Tours, has said Brexit would have “no discernible effect on sick pilgrims or indeed any pilgrims travelling to Lourdes”.
He was responding to a blog post on this site by Dr Michael Moran, chief medical officer for Down and Connor diocesan pilgrimages to Lourdes and a member of the International Medical Committee of Lourdes.
