Passionist priest D’Arcy awarded OBE
Fr Brian D’Arcy: honoured for services to community relations

Outgoing PSNI chief constable George Hamilton has been knighted in Queen Elizabeth’s birthday honours list.
The Garda commissioner and former PSNI deputy chief constable Drew Harris was awarded a queen’s police medal (QPM) for services to policing and the community in Northern Ireland while Fermanagh-born Passionist priest Fr Brian D’Arcy received an order of the British empire (OBE) for services to community relations.
Mr Hamilton, who is retiring at the end of this month, was knighted for services to policing and the community.
The North’s Police Ombudsman, Michael Maguire, who also is retiring at the end of this month, was made a commander of the order of the British empire (CBE).
Dr Maguire, who this week has been involved in a dispute with Mr Hamilton over the arrests of journalists Trevor Birney and Barry McCaffrey, received his award for services to justice in Northern Ireland.
Mr Hamilton said he was “delighted” with the award. “It has been an honour and the highlight of my career to have served as chief constable of the PSNI,” he said.
Kieran Donnelly, the North’s comptroller and auditor general, received a companion of the order of the bath for services to the Northern Ireland audit office. More than 70 people from many walks of life in Northern Ireland were honoured in the birthday list.
He may as well turn the crucifix upside down after this. Shocking that he’d so readily reject Jesus for her. You can trust no one these days.
