THE consultant psychiatrist who allegedly sexually abused numerous female patients treated disgraced child abuser priest Bill Carney and gave the green light to his return to ministry.

A FORMER priest linked to at least 32 complaints and suspicions of sex abuse and who was branded a “a serial abuser of children” by the Murphy Report has written to a British newspaper claiming he deserves a second chance.

A former Catholic priest exposed as a serial child sex abuser today claimed he posed no “threat or danger to children”.

The mother of altar boy Paul Dwyer who was raped by former priest Bill Carney has said she blames those who protected the convicted paedophile.

CONFUSION and chaos existed within the Dublin Archdiocese and the wider Church as to how Canon Law dealt with clerical abuse allegations, the Commission of Investigation report found.
