"St Kevin's Stump"'s venerated on Craggy Island by "Fr Ted" and flock, so why not BVM for Rathkeale? She has fewer novenas to intercede for in secular Ireland, and may have time on Her hands. Or it may be to balance the sectarian coverage for the Twelfth.

There is a certain amount of laughter that comes from these sightings.
It is strange why the supernatural choose odd places to appear.
Would claiming to see supernatural things not be a blasphemy?
Is it acceptable as it is the Virgin Mary...sounds strange but better taken for what it is "funny" and little else.

I only say that as no one can claim in honesty what the Virgin Mother looks like, as we have the Renaissance painters to thank for
there romantic western look to people of middle eastern origin.
This would be the image the church wanted and although the paintings are beautiful, they are not true likenesses of the Holy family.

So seeing is not believing only accepting a false image, I think a commandment speaks against false images.
