The Church of Ireland leader in Galway says it's very important that we don't become desensitised to the horrors of global wars.
Very Reverend Lynda Peilow from St Nicholas Collegiate Church made her comments on Galway Bay fm's annual Christmas Messages Programme.
Very Reverend Peilow, who's also Provost of Tuam, says what we experienced here during Storm Eowyn at the start of the year is just a snippet of the deprivation being endured in war-torn areas
Very Reverend Peilow will be joined on the programme by Mayor of Galway Mike Cubbard, Cathaoirleach of Galway County Council David Collins; Bishop of Galway Michael Duignan and representing the United Church Galway, a congregation of the Presbyterian Church in Ireland, Reverend Helen Freeburn.
The hour-long Christmas programme which looks back on the year and shares festive memories is presented by Head of News Bernadette Prendergast.
It will be broadcast on Galway Bay fm just after the 6 o'clock news this evening, and just after the 1 o clock news tomorrow, Christmas Day.
It will also be available as a podcast on the Galway Bay FM website from 2.30pm tomorrow.
