In May 1859, a beautifully printed card urging Revd Michael Condon to visit ‘La Plus Belle Dame de Greenock’ dropped through his letterbox. He had just arrived that day in his new parish of Cartsdyke. Given the prejudice encountered, the appalling living conditions, and the endless demands on him and his fellow clergy, their resistance to such charms seems remarkable. The Irish were allegedly ‘liars, blasphemous, ignorant, lying, thieving etc.’ And that was a Scottish priest speaking. Not surprisingly Condon could write to a Scottish priest. ‘I cannot wonder that being treated like a dog by your confrere, I should be classed among dogs by yourself.’
