In a statement Dr Barry said: “Cardinal Sean Brady has a deep spirituality which has been so evident to those who met and worked alongside him during his years as Archbishop of Armagh. He sought to give leadership to his people through both good and difficult times during his 18 years in office and many will miss him greatly.

“Dr Brady was committed to building good relationships with the Protestant Churches and their leaders. On behalf of the Presbyterian Church in Ireland, I would like to wish him a long, peaceful retirement and that he would know God’s blessing in the days ahead.

“I and my colleagues in the Presbyterian Church look forward to working with Archbishop Eamon Martin as he takes up his new role as Primate of All Ireland and wish him well as he assumes new responsibilities.”
