Dublin priest Monsignor Paul Tighe has been appointed by Pope Francis to a new high-profile committee charged with reforming the Vatican media throughout the world.
Msgr Tighe will serve as secretary on the new Committee for Vatican Media which will be chaired by former BBC Trust chairman (Lord) Chris Patten and headed up by experts from the Vatican and around the world.
The committee will propose reforms for Vatican media including building on the Pontifex Twitter account.
Originally from Navan, Co Meath, Msgr Tighe studied civil law at UCD before going on to study for the priesthood at Holy Cross College in Dublin and the Pontifical Irish College in Rome.
