Louth chairman Fitzpatrick 'heartbroken' by departure of Mickey Harte

County chairman Peter Fitzpatrick admits that he is “disappointed” and “heartbroken” by Mickey Harte’s departure as Louth senior football team manager but has already begun arranging a process to appoint the Tyrone-native’s successor.

Harte, along with his assistant Gavin Devlin, met Fitzpatrick on Monday morning to inform him of their resignation as confirmation of their appointment to the helm of Ulster champions Derry moves closer.
 

The Clan na Gael clubman oversaw a meeting of the county executive and players in Darver on Monday evening to reveal the news, which comes as a major shock given Harte and Devlin had been regular attendees at club championship matches over the past month.
 

Fitzpatrick, secretary Bob Doheny, treasurer Aidan Berrill and Operations Manager Francie McMullen will lead the delegation tasked with finding the next senior boss.
 

"I got a phone call from Mickey at eight o’clock on Sunday night looking to meet me in Dundalk and I met him and Gavin on Monday morning,” he said.

  • Splügen Pass, Switzerland

    With their twists and turns, record heights, and breathtaking vistas, mountain roads like Umling La and Pico de Veleta are steeped in history. One such route of the Lepontine Alps—Splügen Pass—is pictured here today. Located on the border of Switzerland and Italy, the 2114-metre-high pass is one of the highest paved roads in Europe. Although its modern form was built between 1818-1823, the Splügen Pass is rich in history, with links to Roman times. The pass has been much quieter since the nearby San Bernardino road tunnel opened in 1967. The now quiet p…Read more

    Il miracolo di San Genaro si ripete ancora il sangue del santo patrono s'è sciolto alle 10.03 Don Mimmo Battaglia tra i fedeli in festa© COLLABORATORE

    A Napoli si è ripetuto il "miracolo" di San Gennaro. L'annuncio è stato dato alle ore 10:03 ed è stato accolto da un lungo applauso dei tantissimi napoletani che già dalle prime ore del mattino si erano ritrovati nella Cattedrale per partecipare alla celebrazione dell'arcivescovo, Domenico Battaglia. In Duomo, qualcuno ha urlato: "Viva San Gennaro". Il "miracolo" viene letto dai fedeli come segno di buon auspicio per la città e per la Campania. La liquefazione del sangue di San Gennaro avviene tre volte l'anno: il 19 settembre, giorno di San Gennaro, il sabato che precede la prima domenica di maggio, e il 16 dicembre.

    Arcivescovo Napoli: "Sangue non è oracolo cittadino"  Per monsignor Mimmo Battaglia, arcivescovo metropolita di Napoli "questo sangue non è un oracolo da consultare e ancor meno un oroscopo cittadino, la cui funzione è quella di predire sventure o fortune per la città - ha detto nel corso dell'omelia per le celebrazioni di San Gennaro -. La reliquia è un segnale stradale, un incide puntato che ci richiama all'urgenza di seguire in modo radicale il vangelo di Cristo, lasciandoci attrarre dalla sua bellezza".

    Le date del "miracolo"  Il prodigio della liquefazione del sangue di San Gennaro, vescovo di Benevento, avviene tre volte l'anno: il 19 settembre, data in cui fu decapitato il martire nel 305 d.C.; il 16 dicembre, nell'anniversario di una terribile eruzione del Vesuvio del 1631 arrestata, secondo credenza popolare, per intercessione del Santo; e la prima domenica di maggio, in ricordo della traslazione delle spoglie mortali da Pozzuoli alle catacombe di Capodimonte.
