THE new Papal Nuncio to Ireland drove on the ‘wrong side’ of the road — for him — when he travelled to a Eucharistic Congress at the weekend.

Pope Benedict XVI’s representative here, Archbishop Charles Brown (53) from the US, who is used to driving on the right, drove himself to the Kildare and Leighlin Diocesan Eucharistic Congress in Carlow town, Co Carlow, on Saturday.

He had no entourage and made a low-key entrance to the Cathedral of the Assumption, where he attended prayer services, workshops, and concelebrated Mass.

He did not leave until late on Saturday evening and spent the day meeting Catholics from the diocese.
