Irish Bishops Announce Divestment from Fossil Fuels Ahead of the Pope's Visit

Title: Irish Bishops Announce Divestment from Fossil Fuels Ahead of the Pope's Visit
Description: The Irish Catholic Bishops Conference announced it would divest from fossil fuels hours before the arrival of Pope Francis. The bishop's move means withdrawing investments in 200 oil and gas companies within five years. The bill was introduced in the Irish Parliament, requiring the country’s sovereign wealth fund to divest from all fossil fuels. If the Irish bill passes, it will make Ireland the first government to divest from fossil fuels.; Irish Bishops Announce Divestment from Fossil Fuels Ahead of the Pope's Visit
