Bishop Murray: Conscience clear about time in diocese

THE Bishop of Limerick has said “his conscience is clear” about his time in Dublin but admitted some things should have been done differently.

Despite repeated calls from him to resign in the wake of the Murphy report into the handling of child sex abuse, Dr Donal Murray said he wouldn’t be forced out of the Church.

The embattled bishop said he is now engaged in a “listening process” in which he will gauge opinion in the Diocese of Limerick but also public opinion nationwide. He said he wants to hear in particular from the victims in Dublin.
