Abuse survivor comes under fire

A VICTIM of clerical sexual abuse has been urged to stay in Britain, not to return to his native Wexford and not co-operate with the BBC in its follow-up documentary to the ‘Suing the Pope’ expose.

Person of the Year Colm O’Gorman said neither he nor anyone else wanted Bishop Brendan Comiskey to resign. And he said the Church has to be responsible for its own action. But nobody wants to bring it down, he insisted.

His comments came in the wake of a handful of highly critical calls to South East Radio, his local station in Wexford yesterday. Mr O’Gorman featured on the morning chat programme with Alan Maguire yesterday.
