My gender is no big deal, says first female CoI bishop

THE Church of Ireland's first ever woman bishop has said she is "having trouble digesting" the groundbreaking news.

"I happen to be a woman but gender is not an issue for me, although I appreciate it may be an issue for other people," she said.
