Former bomber looks to start new life by entering priesthood
Shane Paul O’Doherty, who spent five years as an active IRA member, will have to receive special dispensation from the Pope before he is ordained - because, among other activities, he once sent a bomb in a bible to a Bishop.
O’Doherty (50), who has spoken extensively, about his life as a teenage IRA bomber and his long years questioning that life, has taken a vow of silence since entering Maynooth.
