Madonna Provokes Irish Ire With Sunday Concert

Reuters reports that Madonna is taking heat from Christians in Ireland on Friday for confirming she would play her first ever Irish concert on a Sunday at Slane Castle. “It is the only date and day feasible,” Slane Castle owner Lord Henry Mount Charles confirmed of the August 29th tour stop. Joe Deegan, Slane’s parish priest, argued the decision was insensitive in a country where 90 percent of the population is Roman Catholic.
