Ferns may face further €5m pay-out
But no decision has yet been taken on the possible sale of St Peter’s College or the Bishops’ Palace in Wexford, a closed meeting of the diocesan finance committee heard. Neither was there opposition from those gathered to the possible sale of either property.
The Diocese has paid out €2.8m to 17 victims of clerical sexual abuse over the past year. Three further claims made by victims are expected to be settled by Christmas, while another 16 are still outstanding.
