Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness has congratulated Monsignor Eamon Martin on his appointment as coadjutor bishop in the Archdiocese of Armagh.
Mr McGuinness said he has known Monsignor Martin for many years.
He described him as a progressive thinker who has demonstrated an ability to connect with ordinary Catholics.
“This move provides an opportunity for renewal within the Irish Catholic Church so badly damaged by the handling of the criminal abuse of children.”
